As the Bylaws outline, the Board includes four officers (Past-president, President, President-elect and Secretary/Treasurer), 15 directors and the Student Government President. Each officer will hold a one-year term, and each director will hold a two-year term (with the exception of 2007 in order to stagger the attrition of the director positions).  The President and the Past-president will also hold a seat on the UST Law Board of Governors. In 2007, seven of the 15 directors were appointed to a one-year term, and eight were appointed to a two-year term.
