Board of Directors
Our Society is run by a Board consisting of four officers, President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, and four Board Members-At-Large. The Board also includes leadership from each of seven geographically-aligned chapters, with each chapter receiving one vote. The Board meets virtually every other month. All of our Board meetings are open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend!
