JALT holds three Executive Board Meetings (EBMs) per year (full weekend EBMs in February and June, and a one-hour EBM at the annual international JALT conference). All Board of Directors (BoD) members as well as representatives from all of JALT's chapters and SIGs are expected to attend, as well as invited attendees from publications board, various committees, and so on.
The JALT Executive Newsletter (JENL) will be online two weeks before the EBM. This newsletter contains information about the meeting such as the meeting agenda, reports, and minutes of the EBM and Board of Directors meetings.
The specific schedule will be posted in the JENL. Here is a general schedule:

Don’t Forget To Have At Hand...
the JENL
The NPO Laws in English and/or Japanese; they are also found in "Officers Resources" on jalt.org
Open mind and open ears
What To Do...
Read the JENL and talk about it with your chapter or SIG co-officers. Pay special attention to the motions in New Business. Officer reports and minutes of past meetings will also give you a picture of all the hard work volunteers are doing at the national level.
Familiarize yourself with the Standing Rules and the Constitution and Bylaws.
And if you’re feeling really ambitious, download and scan the JENLs & meeting minutes from the last year to familiarize yourself with issues that have been covered at previous meetings.
