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.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
