36 U.S.C. § 30505 — Governing body

(a) National Convention. (1) The national convention is the corporation's supreme governing authority. (2) It is made up of officers and elected representatives from the states and other local subdivisions of the corporation, as the constitution and bylaws set out. However, the corporation's government must represent its membership broadly — it cannot let control concentrate among a small number of members, or among a self-perpetuating group that does not represent the membership as a whole. (3) The national convention may meet in the District of Columbia, or in any state, territory, or possession of the United States. (b) Officers. The corporation's constitution and bylaws set out who its officers are, how they are chosen, how long they serve, and what their duties are.
