All members are encouraged to attend the business meeting held as a catered luncheon at each annual conference. All members are welcome to participate in governance by running for society office. Each year a nominating committee collects nominations and self-nominations for open offices. Members interested in serving on the publications committee should correspond with an executive committee or current publications committee member.

Elections for officers and graduate liaisons are held in spring. Current members will be invited via email to vote online. Incoming officers and members-at-large (and periodically members of publications committee) take office at the executive committee meeting of that fall’s annual conference.
