In addition, the president submits an annual written report to the AAOMPT Executive about the sSIG’s activities, goals, and progress. The sSIG president is strongly encouraged to attend the annual AAOMPT conference.

Vice-President – The vice-president is often tasked with managing projects or goals by the president, alongside key sSIG executive team members. In addition, the vice-president works with the Conference Chair to ensure a smooth execution of events at the annual AAOMPT conference.

Member(s)-at-large – The member(s)-at-large serve as the coordinators of the AAOMPT Student Local (ASL) program and act as liaisons between ASL programs and the sSIG Executive.
