The five school board members attended their first IASB Board of Directors meeting as division directors on June 8. An orientation session provided an overview of the board’s role and helped the new directors understand the constitutional responsibilities of IASB officers.

The IASB Board of Directors is represented by one director for each of the Association’s 21 geographic divisions, a representative from the IASB Service Associates, and three officers: president, vice president, and past president. The board meets quarterly and is responsible for the governing policies of the Association.

Elected division directors serve a two-year term. A complete listing of the IASB officers and directors is on the IASB website.
