AIYS Board of Directors 2006-07

Each institutional member of AIYS designates one delegate to serve as Director. In addition five Directors-at-Large are elected from among the individual members for a 3-year term. The last election was held in October 2005; the next election will take place in the fall of 2008. The Board meets annually in the late fall in conjunction with the meeting of the Middle East Studies Association. At that time AIYS also holds a general business meeting for individual AIYS members and other interested individuals.
