The Executive Board's functions are restricted by which documents?

• A. The AAS Constitution and the National Conclave
• B. The NATCON charter
• C. The Dougherty Cup rules
• D. The Joint National Project guidelines

Answer: (A)

Executive Board actions are limited by the organization’s governing documents. The AAS Constitution lays out the structure, powers, and procedures for governance, defining what the EB can and cannot do. The National Conclave is the supreme governing body that can amend the Constitution and its by-laws, further shaping and restricting the EB’s authority. Other documents—such as the NATCON charter, Dougherty Cup rules, or Joint National Project guidelines—relate to specific events or programs, not the EB’s overall governance. So the combination of the AAS Constitution and the National Conclave best constrains the Executive Board’s functions.
