Board of Directors Assignments
The Board is composed of 16 voting members. USMS legal counsel and the chief executive officer are nonvoting, ex-officio board members. The Executive Committee, to which members are elected in odd years, includes the chair, vice chair of administration, vice chair of local operations, vice chair of programs, vice chair of community services, secretary, treasurer, immediate past chair, legal counsel, and chief executive officer. The remaining eight board positions, recognized as at-large directors, are elected in even years, one from each zone. BOD members are elected for two-year terms and may run for an additional two-year term, for a total of four years of service. At the annual meeting, the house of delegates elects the Board of Directors.
