EAA's Leadership
As a member-led union, EAA’s Board of Governors (BOG) is elected by the dues-paying membership. The BOG is composed of Unit Governors (elected by each bargaining unit) and At-Large Governors (elected by the collective membership). Elections are conducted annually and each Governor serves a three year term(s). The BOG elects the Executive Officers (President, Secretary, and Treasurer) and selects the Executive Director, who completes the Executive Team.
EAA’s Leadership strives to uphold the integrity, accountability, and transparency of our great Union. EAA’s Constitution, ByLaws, and Policies contain further details on elections, structure, and responsibilities.

Unit Councils
Each EAA bargaining unit (01, 19, 20 and 21) is represented by a Unit Council (chaired by the Unit Governor), elected by members of the unit to primarily inform the BoG in matters related to contract bargaining and assist fellow members in organizing proposals for bargaining.
