BOT Meetings may be attended by any in-good-standing member unless specifically announced. The Pittsburgh Savoyards Board of Trustees consists of 11 elected members and up to three non-voting appointed members. The elected members serve in two year terms that alternate years, Five positions one year, and Six positions the next, and are elected at the Annual Membership Meeting by the general membership. Following the election of the BOT members, the President and Vice-President are elected from the BOT members by the general membership. The general membership elects the BOT members, and then from the group of 11 elected BOT members elects the President and Vice-President of the Board. Requirements to be a BOT member is Pittsburgh Savoyards membership in good standing. In addition to being a BOT member, the President must have already served a complete two (2) a year term as a member on the BOT at some time prior to being elected President, and must be willing to serve as President.
