General Board Information

The Board of Directors for the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors consists of eleven (11) qualified persons as follows: nine (9) general representatives elected by the Members ("Elected Representatives"), the President, and either the President-Elect (who shall be elected by the Members), or the Past-President.

In addition, the Secretary, Treasurer and Past Treasurer serve as non-voting, ex-officio members of the Board, appointed by the Board President with the approval of the Board.

To be qualified (i) to be nominated as a candidate for or appointed as a member of the Board and (ii) to maintain the position of Board member, except as an ex-officio member, a person must be a Member under Section 4 of Article VII of the AUCCCD Bylaws.

Board Member terms are three (3) years, unless an individual is elected to complete the remaining term of a Board member who leaves office midterm. Terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of elected Board Member terms expire each year.
