The Board of Directors (Set by Bylaws)

The Board of Directors, per our Bylaws consists of the Ministers and two At-Large Directors. The Board of Directors at HacDC is largely ceremonial. Members generally directly decide on all issues before HacDC. Only certain minutiae and other actions required by law are carried out by the Board of Directors.

Despite direct membership control wherever possible, the Board of Directors remains primarily responsible for the affairs of HacDC under District of Columbia Corporate Law.

The Ministers

Most corporate law refers to "officers". The Ministers are our Corporate Officers and serve in the following roles:

At Large Directors

The At Large Directors are the membership's direct representation on the Board of Directors. At Large Directors should be regular members who are not involved with the day-to-day running of HacDC. They are there to offer advice and perspective to the Ministers and act as a form of internal control.
