Academy Officers and Council

A Council, a group of 19 elected Academy Fellows, governs the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Chaired by the Academy President, it meets twice a year to review and set policy regarding all aspects of the Academy's operations. The members of the Council include two Fellows from each of the five classes, one at-large representative, and the Academy's principal officers: President, Vice President, two regional Vice Presidents, Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Treasurer, Editor, and Chief Executive Officer. Past Presidents of the Academy serve ex officio.
