GHSA Executive Board
GHSA's Executive Board consists of officers, representatives and alternates from the 10 NHTSA regions, and committee and task force chairs. All board members serve a term of one year.
Executive Board officers are elected by the full State Highway Safety Office (SHSO) membership during GHSA's Annual Meeting. At this same meeting, regional representatives and alternates from each of the 10 NHTSA regions are selected during regional caucuses.
In addition, the GHSA Chairman appoints the chairs of GHSA's various committees and task forces, who serve as at-large board members.
