  • The PCA Secretary and Treasurer serve 3 year terms and are elected at the expiration of a term
  • Division leaders are elected at varying frequencies as determined by division leadership
  • PCA committee chairs serve at the pleasure of the president and are appointed each July when the new president assumes office.
