Over the 15 months, the President-Elect will work with the current President and provide input in the seating of Working Groups, Committees, and Task Forces; receive education in both the administrative functions of the USHJA and its relationship with the Federation and other affiliates; and serve as a non-voting member unless already serving as a member.
