The AAE Board of Directors is responsible for the AAE’s policy, strategic, and governance matters. The board includes two representatives from each of the seven districts. Each year, the AAE district caucus nominating committees elect nominees to fill upcoming vacancies on the board. In addition to the directors, the board is comprised of six officers, the executive director, the Journal of Endodontics editor and the AAE Foundation president.
