ACEL is a member-led organization, and our volunteer board of directors is made up of each committee’s chair, the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, past president and directors at large. The President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Past President and Advisor are the Executive Committee who each serve two-year terms. Board members serve one-year terms, and each September members can nominate themselves or someone else to be considered for open board positions. The board meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. Board meetings are open to all members in good standing.
