- According to the Women's Auxiliary's first constitution, the board of directors had "charge of the affairs and funds of the Auxiliary." All actions of the executive committee were subject to the board's approval. Officers of the auxiliary consisted of a president, vice-presidents (up to four), recording and corresponding secretaries, a treasurer, a dues treasurer, a social secretary, and any additional officers as deemed necessary for the auxiliary to carry out its work. The president was the auxiliary's chief executive officer, appointed all chairmen (subject to the executive committee's approval), and had to be present at all auxiliary meetings. Although initially the board had between seventy-six and 120 members and met at least four times per year, these numbers were reduced by 1970 to between fifty and seventy-eight members and at least three meetings per year. Members of the board were elected at the auxiliary's annual spring meeting for a two-year term. The executive committee consisted of the elected officers and chairmen of standing committees. They met once a month, except during the months of July and August.
