AITP - Organizational Structure

AITP is governed by elected Officers (President, Executive Vice President/President Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and Immediate Past President) and a Board of Directors.  In addition there is an Executive Director and Professional Staff to support and further AITP's mission and to carry out day-to-day operations.

The Association is divided into geographic Regions. Region governing boards are comprised of liaisons from each of the Chapters within the Region and an elected set of officers.  Regions are combined to form Districts.  Two members of the Association Board of Directors are elected from each of the four Districts (Eastern, Southern, Central, and Western).

Most members belong to Chapters, which provide unique opportunities for informal but direct contact with other IT Professionals.  Chapters are governed by elected officers and directors.  Some members are not affiliated with a chapter and are members-at-large, enjoying the benefits of AITP through the web and at conferences and other educational offerings.

To further the mission of AITP, there are a number of association committees and task forces.  They offer members not only the opportunity to build new benefits and services for the IT industry but also the unique opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and network with IT Professionals across the association.  The committees and task forces are divided into Service Areas of:

• Association Effectiveness
• Membership
• Business Development
• Product & Services
• Operations

The attached structure shows the various Committees and Task Forces in each of the Service Areas.  The responsibilities of each officer position and the charge of each Committee and Task Force can be found in the Association Organizational Structure.  The list of Officer and Directors can be found at the Board of Directors page.  Committee and Task Force chairs can be found at the Committee Roster page.
