Vice-Presidents
ESA members initially elected one Vice-President. After a restructuring in 1995 four individual Vice-Presidents managed responsibilities in Science, Public Affairs, Finance, and Education and Human Resources, respectively. In a further restructuring in 2022 all Vice Presidents except Finance were eliminated. The Vice President for Finance serves a 3-year term and is part of the Governing Board.
