Leadership Structure
The SOA is headed by a board of directors consisting of a president, president-elect, six vice presidents (one of which serves as the secretary/treasurer) and eighteen other board members. In addition, the two most recent past presidents are members of the board.
The board positions are filled by election. A member of the society is eligible to vote in board elections if they have the title of FSA, or if they have held the title of ASA for at least 5 years, and only FSAs can be elected to the board. (See the Membership section below for information on the professional titles granted by the society.) Regular board members are elected for terms of three years, and vice presidents are elected for terms of two years. The president-elect is elected for a term of one year, after which he or she becomes the president for a term of one year.
The employees of the SOA are headed by the executive director, a salaried position appointed by the board of directors.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or structure:
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
