BOARD OF DIRECTORS (ELECTED BY SOCIETY MEMBERS)
Directors are voting members of the Society. Associate and Honorary members are not eligible. The directors, other than the ex-officio directors, are divided into three classes, each composed of one-third of the total number of directors. Board Directors serve four-year terms.
The Chairman of the Board, who served as Chairman-Elect in the previous year, serves a one-year term and is elected at the annual meeting. The selection of the Chairman-elect and new directors begins early in the calendar year when the Nominating and Governance Committee invites suggestions for nominations from past and current chapter presidents, the chapter advisory committees and the general membership. Prior to his or her nomination, the Chairman-Elect shall have served or be serving as a director or Chairman of a standing committee of the Society. After nominations are reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Committee will propose a slate to the full board. If approved, the nominees are presented for election at the annual meeting.
