ILSA Officers are elected yearly. We are governed by an Executive Board that is composed of a President, Vice President, Secretary - Treasurer, four Regional Representatives, one At Large Representative, the Past President, and one U.S. Department of Labor Representative. The Board meets at least once a year to plan the annual conference and to conduct association business between conferences.
