KAAC Board Membership

Upcoming Meetings

April 20, 2026 - Frankfort
July 20-21, 2026 - TBD

Purpose

The KAAC Board of Directors reviews, monitors and implements policy for the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition and the events it sponsors.

Expectations

The Board meets four times a year, typically in January, April or May, July, and at the September KAAC Conference. Meetings are usually held in central Kentucky. The January meeting is a videoconference meeting.
Board members are also expected to attend the Conference and the Governor’s Cup State Finals in March, and work when coaching duties do not conflict.
Board members are expected to attend all meetings faithfully and to work at events as directed.
Board members are expected to perform committee work in between meetings.

Compensation

Board members are not compensated for their service per se.
Board members are reimbursed at the prevailing state rate for travel to and from official KAAC functions.
For those who live outside a 100-mile radius of the official event, or for multi-day events like the State Finals or the summer retreat, KAAC provides lodging for Board members. Board members may request double beds to accommodate family members. Family members are welcome at social events; if there is a per-person cost for such an event, that cost is paid by the Board member.
KAAC provides meals when they fall during an official event.

Eligibility

Any school representative, coach, certified official, or employee of a member school, or school district containing a member school, is eligible to be elected to the Board. The counties that each section represents can be found here.
