“The asrts members directly elect 6 of the board members. The other 2 board members are elected by the house of delegates.”

“The bylaws designate that some board decisions must be approved by the house of delegates. The bylaws also delegate a number of decisions to the house of delegates. One of the largest of the delegated decisions is bylaw changes. The house of delegates meets annually and is made up of members. All the active affiliate organizations send representatives to the house of delegates. This is about 2/3 of the delegates. The remainder of the delegates are elected by the members in a direct vote.”
