Governing Board

About the Governing Board

​CAS's Governing Board is a body of officers responsible for specific leadership and business operations of CAS, including managing finances and keeping records of all meetings. This group includes the president, past-president, president-elect, and members-at-large elected by the CAS Council of Representatives. The Executive Director and Editor serve ex-officio. The CAS Governing Board meets periodically to address CAS governance issues, consider standards drafts prior to Council review, and manage the business of the Council between Council meetings.
