Meet AAAED's Leadership

The American Association for Access, Equity and Diversity is led by a Board of Directors consisting of officers, regional directors, committee chairs and At-Large committee members. The Immediate Past President serves for one year after his or her term has ended. The officers and regional directors are elected for a two-year term by the membership. Committee chairs serve during the term of the AAAED president. AAAED also has an Executive Director who manages the day-to-day activities of the association.
