The International Society of the Learning Sciences is governed by a Board of Directors, which exercises general supervision over the affairs of the society, subject to the provisions of the by-laws. The Board of Directors includes 12 voting members elected by the membership of the society and serving staggered terms of 6 years each, plus non-voting ex-officio members. Ex-officio members include the Executive Officer, Financial Officer, and Past-President, if they are not voting members, the chair people of each committee, and a representative of each affiliated journal and conference. The Board of Directors meets at least annually, but the practice has been for the Directors to meet by phone 2 to 3 times per year and together at the ICLS or CSCL conference once during the year. The officers, including the President, President-Elect, Past President, Executive Officer, and Financial Officer (Secretary/Treasurer), form an Executive Committee and meet more often.

Any individual with a Ph.D. or who has made scientific contributions to the learning sciences or who has interest in the learning sciences may become a member of the society by joining and paying the dues, though at some later date, we may require sponsorship by two current members. Members meet at a business meeting held each year during the annual ICLS or CSCL scientific meeting.

The by-laws and articles of incorporation appear in the box to the right, as do links to affiliated journals and conferences.
