Director & Committee Appointments

GSA Directors are outlined in the GSA Codes and are appointed through vote of either Forum or Cabinet. They serve in varied capacities to support the operations of the organization and the policy advocacy GSA engages in. Each director reports to one or more of the elected officers with the exception of Elections Commissioner, who must remain impartial and reports to no one.
