      AADL Board Information

      All trustees are elected at large from the District. Terms are four years long beginning January 1 following the year they are elected. The next election will be held in November 2014.

      Officers are elected by the Board at the Annual Board Meeting in January. Officers serve for a one year term and for no more than two consecutive years in the same office.

      Committees are advisory groups to the Board. They present non-binding recommendations to the Board of Trustees which the Board then decides to reject, accept, or modify. Board committee appointments are done by the President with the approval of the Board.
