ROA Board of Directors and National Officers
The National Executive Committee is ROA’s governing body and is focused on the strategic direction of the association. It consists of the president, president-elect, the last past president, the executive director, and from each service section a vice president, a junior vice president, and three executive committeemen.
Each of these individuals, except the president-elect and executive director, has one vote on each matter decided by the committee. Appointed officers of the association include a treasurer and a judge advocate. The president may also appoint additional national officers.
