They will fill 13 board positions to be ratified by the association&#8217;s Annual General Meeting, held on the sidelines of the PATA Annual Summit in Macau, 15 to 17 May. The PATA board can have a maximum of 40 members who serve two-year terms. Currently, the board comprises 35 companies and institutions.
