ASCD Governance
ASCD is governed by a 18-member Board of Directors, which meets three times a year and is chaired by the association's President.
Leadership is also provided by an elected and appointed Leadership Council of approximately 130 members. Leadership Council members are elected both from affiliates and members at-large. The Council also includes the members of the Board of Directors.
Elections for ASCD offices are contested, and no campaigning is allowed. A balanced slate of diverse, qualified candidates is selected annually by the Nominations Committee, and those elected serve staggered terms.
