The positions of the Chapter Board of Directors are elected annually by the dues-paid chapter members. A ballot is mailed to the members in July listing those who have agreed to stand for chapter offices. It is from this pool of directors that the members of the current year's BOD and the directors-elect for the coming year select the Chapter Officers for the coming year. To be eligible for Chapter Office, a member must first be elected to the BOD for the year in which the office would be filled. To implement this, the chapter members first select the coming year's BOD (July), then the BOD from the current year ant the coming year elect the Officers from the coming year's BOD (August).

Travel is required as the AD must attend two Region meetings per year and the Association Conference. The AD should be an experienced chapter member familiar with the organizations, politics, and posses an ability to poke, prod, and see that the functions of the chapter continue in a timely fashion.
