BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of Beta Alpha Psi consists of 15 individuals representing education, financial information firms, and industry. Nine Board members are currently from education and include the Director of Administration and Development, the Director of Chapter Activities, six Regional Directors, and the College of Business Dean (three-year terms). The President-Elect serves a one-year term then succeeds to the Presidency in the following year and serves a final year on the Board as Past President. The other three Board members represent the financial information profession. The Chair of the Advisory Forum serves a two-year term on the Board. This person has significant responsibility in his or her position in industry, professional services, or government and brings a valuable business perspective to the Board. Two Alumni Representatives also serve on the Board; one is elected each year to serve a two-year term. As recent graduates of Beta Alpha Psi chapters, the Alumni Representatives bring a student perspective to the Board.
In addition, a representative of the AICPA attends all Board meetings.

The Board of Directors typically meets three times a year to plan overall fraternity activities and provide general guidance for chapters to follow. The national office of the fraternity is available for consultation on day-to-day chapter operations.
