Governing Board (2011-13)

 

The AFSA Governing Board is elected by the membership every two years and is composed of representatives from each AFSA constituency. The entire membership casts their votes for President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Each constituency then casts votes for the remaining Vice President and representative positions. Currently, the board has 27 members. In addition to the three positions enumerated above, there are five Vice Presidents (State, USAID, FAS, FCS, and retiree), ten State representatives, two USAID representatives, one representative each for FAS/FCS/IBB, and four retiree representatives.

 The previous board identified four major goals for its term: Securing resources, improving operations and protecting benefits for the Foreign Service; increasing cooperation with management and broadening presence in policy development; improving the image and expanding the outreach of the Foreign Service; and streamlining internal AFSA operations. Among the goals of the current board is to initiate an informal network of diplomatic associations around the world.

The Board represents the entire AFSA membership and encourages comments and suggestions from people in the field. We hope you will also consider serving on a future AFSA Governing Board, working on behalf of your colleagues for a two-year term.
