- A spring meeting at the annual conference site a day or two prior to the NASSM convention
- A "change over" meeting held toward the end of the conference when both retiring and newly elected officers meet as a whole
- A fall meeting (usually early to mid November) held at a centrally located site or in the upcoming convention city.
The JSM Editors serve 3-year terms with an option of two additional years. The editors perform numerous duties associated with the JSM publication. The journal editors are not elected by the membership; they are appointed by the Council based on qualifications.
