The organization of AZA is steered by a democratically elected board of officers on the international, regional, council and chapter levels. The officers elected may vary from one level to the other and between different chapters and regions. A group of elected officers is often referred to as the “executive board” or just simply the “board”. Elections are typically held semi-annually. Below are the current executive board members of Simon Atlas.

Responsible for all chapter actions, running chapter meetings and chapter board meetings, guiding the chapter through the term, and ensuring the well-being and success of the chapter

Aleph Sopher: (Publications Manager)

The Sopher manages the production of the chapter newspaper. This means setting deadlines, getting articles from members, laying out the paper, and distributing it.

Aleph Me’amen: (Coach)

The Me’amen is in charge of all sports-related programming in the chapter. This includes participation in AZAA leagues and ensuring attendance from the chapter, as well as any other athletic events planned. Since the Me’amen has a fairly lighter structure to his responsibilities, he’s usually one of the first called upon to help other members with projects.

Kohen Godol: (Parliamentarian)

Typically the past Godol, the Kohen Godol, serves as an additional adviser to the chapter board and usually assists in multiple projects with other board members/chairs. Once a Kohen Godol, always a Kohen Godol.

Adult Advisers: Elliot Golden and Jeremy Cohn
