AATJ is governed by a team of elected Executive Officers (President, Vice-President, and Immediate Past President) and an appointed Board of Directors. There must be representation of both pre-collegiate and higher education among the Executive Officers. The duties of the officers are prescribed in the AATJ Bylaws. Currently the administrative offices of the AATJ are located at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
