About
Board of Trustees and Organizational Overview
ASLA is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit professional association.
A Board of Trustees (BOT) sets policies and priorities and provides financial
oversight. An Executive Committee of the Board serves as the administrative and
strategic planning committee of the BOT.
The BOT is composed of one trustee
from each of the Society’s 49 chapters and a student representative, as well as the
Executive Committee, which includes nationally elected ASLA officers such as the president, president-elect, immediate past president, six vice presidents, executive
vice president, treasurer, secretary, and parliamentarian.
ASLA’s strategic objectives fall into four categories--advocacy and awareness, member services and support, supporting the future of
the profession, and governance and management--and inform all of the
Society’s programs and operations.
A strong volunteer workforce of more than 250 members spread over 30 committees and other groups deploys the mission of the Society.
Select ASLA education and information programs
are housed in the ASLA Fund, a separately incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit
foundation, established in 2001. Priorities of the Fund reflect the overall
ASLA priorities set by the BOT. The goals and budget for the Fund are integrated
into the ASLA Annual Operating Plan (AOP) and budget approved by the
BOT.ASLA National Team
