How the board is selected

The ASNE bylaws state: "The president, vice president and secretary shall be elected by the board of directors from its membership at the first meeting following the election of directors. The treasurer shall be elected by the board from its membership at the fall board meeting but will not assume office until the first meeting following the next election of directors. Each officer shall serve for a term of one year."

The ASNE board of directors is elected by eligible members. Currently, those eligible include active members and retired members who attend the convention.

From the bylaws, "The board of directors shall be composed of not more than 20 persons:

  • The four officers – president, vice president, secretary and treasurer;
  • 15 members elected by the membership and
  • The immediate past president of the Society, who shall serve in an ex officio capacity for one year following the expiration of his or her term as president.
Of the 15 other board members, five shall be elected to three-year terms by secret ballot at each annual meeting. At the same time, directors shall be elected to fill the unexpired terms of those who have vacated the board by reason of death, resignation, ineligibility, election as an officer of the Society, or to replace any interim director who may have been named by the board ... No director may serve more than six consecutive years, unless that director shall be serving as an officer of the Society."
