The current Board of Directors was chosen from among the orginal founding members of the Patriots' Border Alliance. Nominations were taken during a conference call in which all members were present and said nominations were duly seconded. Each nominee was asked if they would serve a limited six month term. All indicated that they would. Overall, nine members were nominated.

Each cadre member then submitted an email ballot choosing five nominees to serve on the board. Two nominees were elected overwhelmingly. The rest of the Board was selected in a second ballot submitted by the voting members.
