The Board of Directors consists of at least fourteen and no more than twenty one members including the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, ten regional directors, representatives elected from Professional, Associate and Palliative Care members and a varying number of community members who are appointed for one year terms. Regional Directors are elected annually by CHAPCA Provider Members and serve three-year staggered terms. Officers are elected within the Board.
Newly elected Board members begin their term on January 1. The Board of Directors normally meets four or five times per year. The CHAPCA Bylaws is the formal document that guides all association activities. CHAPCA has policies that guide program and financial activities, as well.
