InforME Board

The InforME Board, as created by the InforME Access to Public Information Act, is a 17-member entity that combines government and private business interests, education and association representation, all focused on creating the policy that will drive this comprehensive gateway network. Board members include state agencies who are major data custodians, a representative from the University of Maine System, one member from a municipalities association, a non-profit organization advancing citizens' rights of access to information, and a representative from the libraries. Most Board members are appointed by the Governor, with the exception of one public member appointed by the state House and one by the Senate.

The Board approved the State's master contract with Maine Information Network (MIN) and reviews and approves all Service Level Agreements with state and municipal agencies. The Board also develops each of InforME's two-year strategic plans and provides input about InforME's priorities and policies.
