Executive
General
The management structure of the Association is defined in Section 6 of the Constitution. It consists of three tiers:
- The first tier, the Chairs, act as the public face and voice of the Association. There are two Chairs, one drawn from serving military (Navy) personnel and the other drawn from the Merchant Marine.
- The second tier, the Board of Directors provides the leadership for the Association, ensuring that it operates within the constraints of the Constitution and for the benefit of its Members.
- The third tier, the Core Operating Staff, performs the day-to-day functions that keep the Association up and running.
