Assembly of Trustees
The “AO parliament” comprising of 122 expert surgeons from around the world, consists of the AO President, the AO President-Elect, Immediate-Past President, 30 Regional Members, 53 Ex-Officio Members, 2 Founding Members, 10 Past Presidents, and 24 Honorary members. Each AO Trustees’ term is limited.
The Assembly of AO Trustees is responsible for approving the AO’s scientific and clinical mission, important elections, and modifying the AO Foundation Charter and Bylaws. It communicates AO values to national institutions and other AO surgeons, and gathers feedback on specific regional needs.
Since each Trustee serves for a limited number of years, the composition of the Assembly of Trustees is subject to continuous renewal.
