Why would the president-elect be voted by the entire membership rather than a specific service section?
The president must represent the entire Association regardless of his or her service affiliation. As such, the entire membership in a democratic organization has the right to elect the person they feel best qualified to represent them in the public arena, before Congress, and within the Department of Defense. Currently, a small number of individuals are able to attend a national convention that actually elects the leader of our 64,000-member organization. In recent years, less than 50 percent of departments and less than 100 individuals have elected the governing body, as illustrated in the table.
