The group Charter provides for eight (8) Board members, each serving a two-year term. The terms are staggered so that we elect 4 new board members each year. Board members must be oriented to represent the full AC&O user community rather than simply the interests of their respective companies. Board members play leadership roles in the annual UG meetings, UG business, and in providing feedback that helps shape Aspen’s APC products.

You can review the charter of the organization at: www.aspentech.com/community
