About the
AHA Council

The Council is comprised of:

  • six elected officers: the president, president-elect, immediate past president, and the vice presidents of the Professional, Research, and Teaching divisions
  • ten elected councilors: three members representing each division and one at-large member with no divisional responsibilities
  • three appointed officers: the executive director, the editor of the American Historical Review, and the treasurer as nonvoting members

Officers of the organization, the terms of office, and the annual AHA election process are defined in the AHA Constitution & Bylaws.
