JTA is governed by an independent, volunteer Board of Directors that numbers a maximum of 75 members. The Directors, who are elected for three-year terms, are drawn from communities throughout North America, as well as Israel, Europe and other international localities. Every effort is made to keep the Board as diverse as possible and broadly representative of the Jewish community. Among the many constituencies represented on the Board are the Jewish newspaper publishing industry, the Jewish federation establishment, the Zionist movement, and leaders in the media and Internet industries.
