SEAOC Presidents enjoy a special role in the organization's history,  almost always having served as an MO President and SEAOC Board Director before entering the state's four-year leadership track that includes a year as Treasurer, President-Elect, President, and Past President.   SEAOC history is typically keyed to "who was President" at the time, as the President, the Convention planning committee, and many committee chairs all rotate in sync among the four regional Member Organizations.
