Council Leadership

The ACA Council is the Association’s governing body, meeting approximately monthly to set policy and provide strategic oversight. Council includes the elected officers—President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer—along with the Canadian Representative and U.S. National Delegate (USND) President.  The Executive Director serves as a non-voting member, while an annually appointed representative of the Young Scientists Interest Group (YSIG) serves as a voting member. A non-voting representative of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) may also participate.

The ACA Council meets regularly throughout the year, with meeting dates available on the Association calendar. To ask a question or submit an item for Council consideration, please contact us using the Contact Us form.
