The President of the Academy is appointed by the President of the State on the recommendation of the Academy. His term is three years, but he can serve an additional term. The Vice-President was elected by the members of the Academy for a three-year term. The president and vice president come from different divisions. Each division elects its chairman for a three-year term.
