OSA Officers
The OSA officers each possess outstanding records of scientific achievement in the field of optics and distinguished service. The time and effort given by OSA's elected representatives provide a strong foundation for the Society's future.
OSA Elections
Each year, the membership of the Society elects a Vice President and three Directors at Large to the Board of Directors. Each officer serves a term of one year, with the Vice President automatically progressing to President-Elect, President, and immediate Past President over a period of four years. Directors at Large serve three-year terms. The Treasurer is chosen by the Board of Directors from the voting members of the Society. The Chief Executive Officer serves at the pleasure of the Board.
The OSA Board of Directors is pleased to present an outstanding slate of candidates for election to terms beginning in 2013. The election will open in July 2012, and results will be announced in October 2012 at the Annual Business Meeting in Rochester, NY, USA, during FiO/LS 2012.
