Membership
The General Assembly of OSTA-AECO meets three times a term, at the Fall General Meeting, the Board Council Conferences, and the Annual General Meeting. Each school board is entitled to one vote in the association's affairs. At the AGM, the General Assembly elects the next year's executive council for the term starting August 1 of that year.
The board councils are divided by two board types: Public Board Council (PBC), and Catholic Board Council (CBC), each of which are chaired by a president, who sits as a voting member of the executive.
Over the years the structure of the Executive Council has changed to best benefit the needs of the Association. Currently, the executive consists of 14 members: 5 elected voting Presidents, 6 elected Officers, 2 appointed Officers and the Past President.
The elected, voting members of the executive council are: President, Public Board Council President, Catholic Board Council President, Public Board Council Vice-President, and Catholic Board Council Vice-President. The elected, non-voting members of the executive council are: Officer of Professional Development, Officer of Policy, Officer of Communications, Officer of Operations, Executive Secretary, and Executive Bilingual Secretary. The immediate past president, Chief Executive Office, and Chief Financial Officer also serve as a non-voting members.

“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
