The Board of Directors is the governing body of Phi Lambda Sigma whenever the House of Delegates is not in session. Board members work together to guide the Society’s strategic direction and keep it healthy and well run.

All Board members are expected to:

  • Make decisions: Attend Board meetings and vote on Society matters. Quorum is two-thirds of elected officers, so your presence matters.
  • Support chapters: Help review chapter matters such as approvals, compliance, and reactivation.
  • Serve on committees: Take part in the Board’s standing committees (Awards, Bylaws and Constitution, Finance, and Nominating) as assigned.
  • Represent your members: Speak for your member group (collegiate, professional, advisor, or new practitioner) and serve as a link between that group and the Board.
  • Uphold the Society’s governing documents: Follow the Constitution, Bylaws, Mission, and Vision, and take part in Board policy reviews.
  • Support the House of Delegates: Help prepare for and take part in the annual business meeting.
