Board of Directors
The SOA’s Board of Directors currently meets on a monthly basis online. We will look to have two face to face meetings per year when the current situation allows. Each Director serves a term of three years, and can stand for two consecutive terms.
The Board brings a range of expertise and interests to the SOA’s strategy, and includes orienteers and non-orienteers.
