ACR Board of Chancellors
The Board of Chancellors (BOC), the executive body of the American College of Radiology (ACR), has the authority and jurisdiction to conduct its business and affairs in accordance with the ACR bylaws. The BOC is made up of a maximum of 25 voting members of the ACR. The speaker and vice speaker of the Council are ex-officio, nonvoting members of the BOC. On the recommendation of the Board Nominating Committee, the BOC elects the chair and vice chair, who can serve two one-year terms, and the secretary-treasurer, who can serve a one-year term renewable for five years. The president and vice president are elected by the Council. Additionally, the Council elects a number of chancellors, not to exceed twelve, to serve a term of three years, renewable for an additional three years. The chair of the BOC communicates with the College Nominating Committee to select a representative from each of the following societies: the American Roentgen Ray Society, the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the American Radium Society, the Canadian Association of Radiologists, and the Radiological Society of North America. Additionally, the chair of the BOC can appoint a maximum of five chancellors, who must chair a commission, to serve a one-year term renewable for an additional five years.
The BOC does not establish policy; it is responsible for implementing programs and activities to accomplish policy goals. These activities are led and monitored through commissions, committees and special task forces formed to work on specific issues and needs. Each year, they submit a report to the Council on these programs and activities. The BOC usually meets in January, June and September. In addition, special meetings of the Board or Executive Committee are held on an as-needed basis. The members of the BOC volunteer many hours per week and spend a minimum of three weeks away from their practices to fulfill their responsibilities.
