The Board of Directors is made up of volunteer directors and elected officers, each elected for a two year term.
The officers comprise the Executive Committee and is composed of the President, President-Elect, Secretary-Treasurer, National Director and Immediate Past President. The Executive Committee is empowered to act in an emergency, and to perform any other duties of the Board of Directors, if it is difficult or impossible to assemble a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any action of the Executive Committee shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors at their next meeting.
Directors are elected at the annual meeting of the PIAK and are either placed into nomination by the nominating committee or may be nominated from the floor. Your directors are the voice of the association, making policy decisions, chairing committees and setting the future direction of the association.
