Annual TOS Officer Elections
The election of TOS officers is conducted annually by the board at the first meeting after the annual director election. Officers serve one-year terms.

General Information
Under the 2016 TOS bylaws, election of TOS directors to the TOS board is held annually. One-third of the twelve director positions expire each year, and elections are held for three-year terms. According to current board practices, elections are held in March with terms expiring in early May. Officers of the board are then elected each year by the board itself at its first board meeting after the newly elected directors begin their terms. Officers serve one-year terms. Beginning in August each year, the Nominating Committee solicits nominations for positions scheduled to expire the following year. By the next February, the slate of candidates is placed on the ballot and that ballot is submitted to the membership for a vote. All members are eligible to vote for all positions, including all regional directors.
