Board of Trustees and Society Governance

The Heart Rhythm Society's Board of Trustees consists of 18 voting members; 10 of whom are elected from among the Members and Fellows of the Society at-large. (View the upcoming slate of officers and trustees who will take office following the Presidents' Reception on May 14 at Heart Rhythm 2010 in Denver.) The mission of the Board is to govern the Society, protect the Society's image and its assets, and be the moral voice of the Membership of the Society.

The Board designates committees that report to and advise the Trustees; these advisory committees may include Trustees, Members, Fellows, Affiliate Members and other interested parties with relevant expertise.
