Historical Board and Officers

FMA is, at heart, its members. Below is a listing of individuals who have held positions on the FMA Board over the years and who have shaped what FMA is today. This list includes former Academic & Practitioner Directors, Board Members, Conference Chairpersons, Editors, Founders, Publications Committee Chairpersons, Presidents, Secretary/Treasurers, Student Chapter Committee Chairs and Trustees.

Presidents

The president serves as the chief spokesperson for the Association. Upon approval of the FMA Executive Committee, the FMA Nominating Committee automatically places the most recent Vice President in charge of the Program on the ballot as a candidate for President, with the only opposition being for a write-in candidate (FMA By-laws, October 2000). Terms of office begin at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting and conclude at the end of the following year's Annual Meeting, e.g., the 2014-15 term begins at the conclusion of the 2014 Annual Meeting and ends at the conclusion of the 2015 Annual Meeting.
