BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Currently, the ASCnet Board of Directors consists of ten members,
each of which has been elected by the membership. The Board is
responsible for representing the interests of all members as it works to
set the overall strategic, long-term direction of the association to
ensure that ASCnet remains relevant to its members, evaluating the
success of those efforts towards the achievement of our strategic goals
and objections, and establishing policies that the set the guidelines
for work and consistent decision-making throughout the
association.
Five of these directors are elected by the Board to serve as
association officers: chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer, and
past chair and make up the executive committee. Officer roles are
