Executive Committee

The ABCA Executive Committee consists of the ABCA President, most recent Past President and all four Vice Presidents. Additionally, each division within the Association is represented by a Chair on the Executive Committee. Divisional Chairs hold their position for a three-year term and are eligible to be re-elected for a second three-year term. The Chairs run the annual Coaches Meetings on the opening night of the ABCA Convention and recommend various business items and policies for action in their respective divisions. The Chair of the ABCA Diversity Committee also serves on the committee and focuses specifically on bringing forth recommendations for expanding minority opportunities within all levels of the sport. The group meets twice annually at the Convention and the committee elects three representatives from the Divisional Chairs to serve on the ABCA Board of Directors.
