ASA Board Seeks Comments About Making Treasurer an Elected Member

Ron Wasserstein, ASA Executive Director

At its April 2021 meeting, the ASA Board recommended changing the association’s bylaws to make the position of ASA Treasurer an elected position, thereby giving board voting rights to the treasurer. Currently, the treasurer is appointed by the board and does not have a vote. Given the duties and responsibilities of the treasurer, the board sees it as advantageous to have this position be a voting position on the board. Under the proposed changes, the elected treasurer would continue to be a non-voting member of the executive committee.

The board will vote in the late summer on accepting these changes. Per the rules set forth by our constitution and bylaws, the board seeks comments from ASA members on the proposed changes. Please send comments to ASA Executive Director Ron Wasserstein by August 15, 2021.
