At the 2004 Annual Session, each of ADEA’s seven councils elected a new Member-at-Large to join the continuing members of each administrative board. According to the Association’s bylaws, at the end of each Annual Session, when the Chair rotates off the board, the Chair-Elect moves into the position of Chair, the Secretary becomes Chair-Elect, and the Member-at-Large becomes Secretary. Occasionally, because of resignations, other board members may be elected as well. The fifth member of each board, the Vice President, serves a three-year term—with the exception of the Council of Students, whose Vice President serves a one-year, renewable term.
