Home  › About APSA  › Leadership & Governance Guiding APSA with Effective Leadership Council, Task Forces, and Committees APSA is guided in its activities by a constitution and by-laws and governed by a 26-person council. The president, president-elect, three vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, and 16 council members are elected by APSA's members. The executive director, the editor in chief of the APSR, the editor in chief of the Perspectives on Politics, and the chair of the program committee are also voting members of the council.
