KAR has four officer positions:
* President

The Elections
Elections take place annually during the KAR Mid-Year Meetings. Members of the KAR Board of Directors vote to elect the First Vice President/Treasurer, and the President-Elect, from a list of certified candidates as determined by the Chief Executive Officer.

The officers serve one-year terms, beginning on January 1 after their election.
