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:
“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
