ACEC New York is governed by a State Board of Directors comprising representatives from each of the organization’s eight regions. The number of representatives from each region is based on an index number formula -- the larger the region, the more seats--and is determined on January 1 of each year. Presently, 28 members sit on the board, although the size can change year to year. On an annual basis, each region also elects members to a local board.

A Nominating Committee prepares a slate, for the Board’s approval, of the eight-member Executive Committee (EXCOM), which addresses immediate, day-to-day issues of the organization and is authorized to act for the entire Board. EXCOM comprises the following ACEC New York officers: Chairman, Chairman-Elect, National Director, Secretary, Treasurer, three Vice Chairmen and President.

At least 75 percent of ACEC New York’s Board members, as well as the chairman and national director, must be licensed engineers. Board members serve a maximum of four years (two 2-year terms).
