* According to Section V(A) of the Constitution, the term of office for all members of the Executive Committee shall be two years, and members of the Executive Committee may serve no more than two consecutive, full terms in the same office. According to Section V(C) of the Constitution, the Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary are elected by the third Friday in March of even-numbered years while the campus- and district-based representatives are elected by the third Friday in March of odd-numbered years. The Immediate Past Chair is an ex officio member of the Executive Committee and therefore is not elected.
