Leadership
H4A has a large leadership team, with dozens of alumni volunteer leaders and a part-time, paid digital communications coordinator. H4A is governed by a global Board of Directors. Board members serve two-year terms and are elected by the membership. The board appoints the Executive Committee, comprising the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Executive Committee oversees the Management Team, which includes Chapter Heads and Committee Heads. Finally, the President periodically convenes an Advisory Council, which includes past H4A leaders.
