ESTA is governed by a fifteen-member Board of Directors that is elected by the organization’s membership. The board features a President, Treasurer, Secretary, and three Vice Presidents, which represent the three voting categories – Dealers; Manufacturers; and Production, Professional Services, and Organizational and Related. Each of the three categories elects three additional Directors to represent the membership of that category. Board members serve three-year terms and may be elected to a maximum of two consecutive terms with the exception of the offices of Treasurer and Secretary, which have no term limits.

Board members are required to attend four meetings per year. Meetings take place at LDI, USITT, and in January and July in Dallas, Texas.  Board members assume all costs associated with attending meetings including airfare and hotel. Meetings of the full ESTA Board of Directors are generally open to the public, however a closed or executive session may be called by the President at any time if confidential matters need to be discussed. The Board is responsible for the strategic direction of the Association and must approve all major new initiatives as well as monitor existing programs to ensure they continue to fulfill the organization’s goals and mission.  Most board members also serve on a committee or a TSP working group.
