As you embark on your leadership year, ESA Headquarters has compiled this evolving resource center. This will familiarize you with the resources available to you from ESA Headquarters to make your leadership year effective, efficient and enjoyable. Acquaint yourself with the contents and refer back to them throughout your administration.

Society officers elected by the full ESA membership include the President, Past President, Vice President, Vice President-Elect, and Treasurer. The four presidential roles are held in consecutive years of ascendancy, so only the Vice President-Elect position appears on the ballot each year.

The Governing Board consists of the elected officers noted above, representatives elected from each Branch and Section, a student representative, and the Executive Director as a non-voting ex officio member.

By volunteering their time and energy, ESA members fulfill vital leadership roles within the Society, making important decisions and carrying out essential functions as stated in the ESA Bylaws and Policy Manual.

Program Committee, ESA Eastern Branch

1. The Eastern Branch Program Chair is usually appointed by the President-Elect very shortly after his/her election about two years before the meeting takes place. The newly appointed Program Chair thus serves as a member of the current year's Program Committee to observe and participate in program development. The current year's Program Chair should involve the newly appointed Program Chair in all aspects of program development.

Nominations Committee, ESA Eastern Branch

The Nominations Committee must provide names of at least two nominees for the office of President-Elect and elected member of the Nominations Committee annually, and Secretary (1994, 1997, 2000 ...), Representative on the Governing Board (1994, 1997, 2000 ...), and Executive Committee Member-at-Large (1992, 1995, 1999 ...), and Treasurer (1993, 1996, 1999 ...).
