ASSOCIATION GOVERNANCE The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) is governed by a board of directors, comprised of up to 21 individuals, who are elected by ASA’s members to serve three-year terms.

The Board of Directors usually meets three times per year: • March – at a location determined by the board of directors • July – during ICAST, the industry’s trade show • October – during the annual membership meeting, the Sportfishing Summit

ASA has program and advisory committees made up of member volunteers who also give of their time and resources to support ASA’s programs and advise the board of directors on issues affecting the industry.
