Board Member Appointments
The board of directors is composed of elected officers of AAPL, the immediate past president and one director from each affiliated local association except Canada, which shall be allowed two directors.
The board is responsible for general management of the affairs of AAPL within the scope of the bylaws.

Specific objectives and policies may originate from deliberation of the board itself or may result from consideration of recommendations by committees, subcommittees or by the president and other officers.
