Each position’s term lasts for only one semester, but oftentimes State Chairs are offered the chance to return, assuming they serve admirably and productively.
YAL’s Leadership Team is headed by our Regional Directors.
Regional Directors work, communicate, and support the national network of State Chairs, chapter leaders, and YAL members. If you are approved to join YAL’s Leadership Team as a State Chair, your Regional Director will contact you soon with more information.
