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.

Famous quotes containing the words elected, positions and/or cabinet:
“The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.”
—Lady Bird Johnson (b. 1912)
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“I suppose an entire cabinet of shells would be an expression of the whole human mind; a Flora of the whole globe would be so likewise, or a history of beasts; or a painting of all the aspects of the clouds. Everything is significant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
