Elected Positions and Cabinet
As a student-run organization, the JSA leadership consists of students elected to the various JSA offices. Elections occur each year at the Spring State convention and are major events. Races are regulated by a Fair Elections Committee (FEC) that sets spending limits and regulates campaigning.
Once elected, elected officials will need to appoint a "Cabinet" to help run the organization. Prospective cabinet members must complete an application to be considered for a position. In some states, cabinet members need to be approved by the Senate or State Assembly. These appointments range from Convention Coordinator, Director of Debate, CIA Director and other varying positions such as Debate officers, CIA and FEC agents who facilitate communication with individual JSA chapters.
