EAI Board & Staff
The Emotions Anonymous International Board of Trustees are voted into office at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1) and serve three year terms. The Board makes policy decisions throughout the year during their monthly phone meetings. There are several committees that report to the Board that may include non-Trustees. When applications are being accepted for board positions that information will be available on the website homepage. Application deadline is June 1 of each year.
