AGSD Governance

The AGSD is governed by a set of Bylaws and a Board of Directors and Officers. The Board is responsible for transacting the business of the corporation, establishing major administrative policies governing the affairs of the corporation, establishing committees and their guidelines, and reviewing the performance of any officer of the corporation. The Board of Directors shall review requests for funds from those seeking assistance and act upon such requests as they best serve the goals of the corporation.

The AGSD Board of Directors consists of five [5] members elected from the AGSD Active Membership, the four AGSD Officers, and the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board. Each Director and Officer serves a three-year term.
