Three officers have particular duties (such as appointing local chairs of the annual conference, organizing the prize process, recruiting and reviewing new Fellows and members, and directing the journal).
[3] Starting in 2008, the society developed an open access Electronic journal, called the Educational Designer, with roughly annual issues.
