“PESC has two classes of membership - full members with full voting rights and non-voting affiliate members. Full membership is available to institutions of higher education; schools and districts; data, software, and service providers; related third parties; state and federal government agencies; and national, state, or local associations or agencies having an interest in the activities of PESC. Each full member is entitled to only one vote, which it exercises through a self-appointed primary representative. Affiliate membership is open to any other parties with an interest in the support and promotion of electronic standards in education.”

“All members of PESC's board of directors, other than the President & CEO, are elected to two-year terms by the full members at the annual membership meeting held each Spring. Each full member's appointed representative is eligible to be nominated to serve on the board.”
