The CBFA is led by a twelve-member board. Seven of the board positions are elected by the membership. Each year two new members of the board are elected at the annual conference for a three-year term. After his or her first year on the board, one of those individuals is chosen to become the vice-chair/ chair-elect of the board; that person then becomes the chair of the board, and then serves an additional year as the immediate past chair. The year in which each board member’s term ends is given in parentheses.
Five board positions are appointed by the elected members of the board: the secretary, the treasurer, the senior editor, the program chair, and the director of marketing. The seven elected members plus the secretary and treasurer make up the voting membership of the board of directors.
