International ACAC officers begin their terms on July 1 and continue to serve for one, two or three years. Board service provides a wonderful professional development experience and an opportunity to share your experience and leadership skills with others.
Executive Board Nominations
The International ACAC Executive Board is responsible for the day to day running of the association and plays a vital role in shaping it for the future. It’s a great way to get involved in the profession and work with colleagues from around the world. A call for applications for new board members is made in December each year. Applicants are reviewed by the Governance and Nominating Committee in order to develop the slate of candidates and elections follow shortly thereafter (typically in early March). New officers begin their terms on July 1.
For more information about the membership requirements and duties of each board position, please review the International ACAC Policies and Procedures and Bylaws.
2024-2025 International ACAC Committees
Interested in contributing to International ACAC, but not sure where to start?
While much of the work of International ACAC is carried out by members of the Executive Board, there are nine standing Committees that also do work for the association. Volunteering to serve on one of them is a great way to get involved!
- Committee terms begin on July 1 and end on July 30 of the third year.
- Applications for committee service open annually in December for the following year.
- Committee members are selected by the appropriate Vice President and approved by the Executive Board.
