Organization of the Society
All officers of the International Society serve voluntarily for varying
terms. All have experience in and a commitment to international affairs
as well as a commitment to the objectives of the society.
Board of Directors

Field Representatives
Interested International Society members throughout the world may assist
by serving as Field Representatives. Being a regional or country representative
does not exclude individuals from serving in other capacities such as Church
positions or with BYU related organizations. Effective field representatives
should be currently living in the area for which they represent, should
be acquainted with "local" (in country) Latter-day Saint professionals with
international experience and expertise, and have a commitment to keep in
contact with the International Society office. The term of International
Society Field Representatives is flexible. Their suggested primary responsibilities
