How is USHA organized?

USHA is made up of regular, associate, student, and life members. Most of the membership are regular members. From this membership, the governing board and six standing committees are formed.

This individual will be the First President-Elect that year, and the next year the sitting President. The Secretary and Treasurer are appointed by the President.

The committees in USHA are composed of appointed members who volunteer to work in a particular function for the organization. Each standing committee has an appointed Chair and may also have committee members. The committees are organized under the various elected presidents and include the following:
