The Executive Board was invested with the responsibility of handling administrative matters of the society between conventions. When it was first created in 1918, it comprised four officers and fifteen members elected at the convention and was to meet quarterly. In 1926, the Executive Board, also known as the Board of Trustees, comprised five officers and fifteen members elected at the convention and was to meet at least three times per year. In 1932 the composition of the board was revised again. Each synodical organization of more than 1,000 members was allowed one representative on the board. Groups with fewer than 1,000 members would be represented in alternating terms. Each synodical group elected its own representative to the board. Board membership under this plan was twenty in addition to the five officers. Meetings were to occur at least twice each year. By 1958 the Executive Board comprised five officers, six at-large members, and fifteen members elected from a pool of thirty nominees, one from each synodical organization. Meetings were to be held at least twice each year.
