Note: From 1976-2003, presidential terms were 2 years in length. In 1991, ASE changed board service cycles from January – December to June – June, to coincide with ASE’s Annual Business Meeting in June. Dr. Weyman served an extended 6-month term to make this adjustment. In 2003, ASE’s Bylaws were amended to one year for presidential term.
