POC National Board

The POC National Board of Directors is made up of eight to twelve member-voted Directors, four (4) of whom serve as Officers, plus the immediate Past President. The Board meets monthly via telephone and twice a year for face-to-face planning sessions.

Members vote for five Directors each year. At the first Board meeting of the year (at conference), the Directors choose their roles for the year, and appoint a Vice President. Terms are for two years, and each Director may repeat a single position twice before having to step aside in that role (they may stay on the Board, but must assume a different role).

When the current President has completed his or her term, the Directors choose the next President from within the National Board.

Each year, other than the Officer positions, the Directors' roles may change to best suit the skills and interests of the elected Board members.
