POMA District Trustees

POMA’s district trustees and alternate trustees serve as local points of contact for members across Pennsylvania.

The POMA Board of Trustees is made up of active and respected DOs from across Pennsylvania. POMA is divided into 13 districts across the state, defined by county.

Each district elects its own officers, district trustee and alternate trustee to the POMA Board, as well as delegates to the POMA House of Delegates. District trustees are elected in odd years at their respective business meeting.
