The time commitment for a Board Director is about 10-15 hours/month, which includes attending two in-person and four virtual Board meetings per year, serving on a AAGT Task Force and attending those virtual meetings, and supporting/attending all AAGT Sponsored events. Directors will perform the duties prescribed in Roberts’ Rules in addition to those outlined in the AAGT bylaws.
