The club is governed by a Board of Governors, elected by the Member base. PROPERTIES ARE ALL HELD IN TRUST BY A COMPANY CONTROLLED BY THE BOARD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MEMBERS. Within the Board there is a Finance Committee to oversee and report on the financial status and to approve the Financial Statements which are available at the head office for any members to review. As a group, the Board is dedicated to the fulfillment of the promise to provide TaraNova members with a lifetime of vacation accommodations throughout the world, priced within the average family budget.
The Board consists of seven members, one of whom is a representative of the Club manager and six of whom are members or representatives of Members. Any member in good standing may run for election. The election in open and biographies of all those wishing to run will be sent to the member base prior to the election. THE MEMBERS HAVE THE CONTROL.

MEMBER MEETINGS
There is an Annual Meeting scheduled to be held every Spring. At the meeting the Board presents financial information and an overview of the past and future years. All members are welcome to attend and there is an open forum for questions. Depending on the number of members that wish to attend, the meeting will be at a designated location or members may make appointments to come to the head office to discuss any aspect of the Club and/or their membership.
TaraNova members have also set up Social Meetings wherein the members get together to meet other members, exchange information maximizing the benefits of a TaraNova membership and to be a focal point for issues involving the general membership and the Board. Guest speakers are usually in attendance to talk about different aspects of travel. Either a customer service representative or a Board member is on-hand to answer questions with respect to the Cub. Members find these meetings to be both enjoyable and beneficial. All members are welcome!
