AERC is administered by a Board of Directors composed of the President, President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and Members-at-Large. Elections for these positions, based on a nominated slate of candidates, are held at the annual business meeting. The Directors-at-Large serve 3-year staggered terms, whereas other Presidential terms, formerly one year, are now two years. The Secretary and Treasurer are frequently re-nominated and elected for multiple years.
