The Augustan Society, Inc., is governed by a [[Board]] of nine Directors, who have collectively (but not individually) been granted authority over the management of the Society.
Directors are elected for staggered three-year terms in annual [[Elections|elections]]. The three candidates receiving the largest number of votes are elected to three-year terms. If there is a vacancy with two years remaining, that is granted to the candidate with the fourth largest number of votes. If there is a vacancy with one year remaining, that is granted to the next highest ranking candidate.
The primary duty of a Director is to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, preforming his due dilligence in that role. This may include accepting appointment to committees of the Board.
