AIYS Board of Directors 2008-09

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; current terms expire November 2011. 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, and may sponsor panels proposed by AIYS members.
