Committees

The Association is governed by an Executive Committee, nine Standing Committees, a representative Council. Association Staff, with the support of the President, manage the daily operations of the Association Office and provide direct Member support.

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee (EC) is comprised of eleven elected members and the past President and meets on a monthly basis. EC members serve a two-year term. Elections for the EC usually occur annually at the Spring Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The Nominations and Elections Committee will seek nominees from the Membership and then present the Nominations Slate at the AGM for election or, if the vacant positions are not contested, for ratification.
