Board of the Division

The business of IAU Division III is normally carried out by its president and a board, which consists of the current presidents of the commissions in the division plus additional individuals. The commission presidents may consult the members or organizing committees of their commissions on divisional matters as they deem appropriate. Meetings of the entire membership of the division are held at each General Assembly. The first such meeting was held at GA 24 in Manchester and it approved the current plan of organization.

The current board was elected at the XXVIth General Assembly in Prague, in August of 2006. It is somewhat larger than envisioned in the plan of organization due to the increasing number of commissions in the division. The complete historical membership of the board is available here.
