Affairs of the Council are conducted by an Executive Committee consisting of three elected members from Canada and three elected members from the United States, one ad hoc member from the state, province, or territory hosting the next biennial meeting, and the past chair of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee elects its chair. Members of the Council will be nominated and elected to the Executive Committee at the biennial meeting. Executive Committee members serve four-year terms, with alternating elections of two persons and one person from each country, respectively. The ad hoc member serves for two years.
