Composition

The members of the Executive Committee sit on the AB as ex officio members, and its cochairs (the NASPA copresidents) are the AB's cochairs.

Other members serve two-year terms, with no limit on the number of terms that a member may serve. Outgoing members are encouraged to recommend successors from their own geographic region.

Beginning in 2011, some of these members have been chosen through elections. Two members were elected in 2011, and two will be elected in 2013.

The remainder of the seats on the board are appointed by the Executive Committee, taking into consideration the recommendations of outgoing members, and the need for balance of all kinds in the composition of the board.

From time to time, the AB elevates long-serving members to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not attend the AB's regular meetings, but may be consulted occasionally in areas of their expertise.

Rulings

Beginning in 2010, significant AB motions have been numbered mostly sequentially in order of their conception. When such motions are passed, they result in an AB ruling. A complete list of AB Rulings is available at this website.
