The Board may also provide ex-officio non-voting roles as warranted. For more information on the Board of Directors, respective roles, elections, and other related items, please review our Bylaws.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is comprised of five voting members (the President, OB-1, Treasurer, Secretary, and an At-Large -or- the President-Elect, when applicable) and one non-voting member (Executive Director).
