TSCA Organization
The TSCA organization is embodied in a National Council (Board of Directors, if you will) of nine members. The Council chooses a President and Vice-president from among its members, and a Secretary and a Treasurer from the general membership. Council members must be members of the national Association in good standing; they serve 3-year terms.
To try to keep the organization from becoming an inbred clique, the By-Laws provide that (a) three of the members of the Council are elected each year and (b) a Council member whose elected term expires is ineligible for re-election for at least one year. "Term Limits" -- and we had it first!

The Association is staffed entirely by volunteers; we have no employees.
Communications within TSCA are accomplished both on the National and Chapter level via The Ash Breeze journal, e-mail, and an automated e-mail "list server." If you want to join the list server forum, please see the Forum page.
The Association is international, but provides for local groups (called chapters) which provide a vehicle for face-to-face activities in their areas. Chapters run events, hold meetings, sponsor youth groups, and build boats as a group effort. There are currently 25 active chapters, and several others organizing.
