Organization
TASC is governed by a 15-member all-volunteer Board of Directors. Each year, half of the directors are elected to two-year terms. A President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary are all elected annually by the Board. The President runs the day-to-day operations of the organization and the fiscal year runs January through December.
There are several Committee structures throughout the organization. Many of these center around TASC's various fundraising events (Softball, Golf, etc.). But, there is also a Marketing, Beneficiary, Finance and Website Committee. Committee Chairs are appointed by the President at the beginning of the year. Meetings are typically held once a month, although there is also an Annual Meeting that takes place at the end of the calendar year. All Board members and Committee Chairs congregate to organize future events, discuss internal business and promote the general growth of the organization. While Board Members are the only ones who can vote on general matters of business, volunteers and the general public are encouraged to attend and participate.
