The
general government of The Tau Beta Pi Association is vested in the
Convention and the Executive Council in accordance with the provisions
of the Constitution and Bylaws. The Convention and the Executive
Council have control of all matters and affairs pertaining to the
Association as a whole, but may not interfere with the internal
affairs of any chapter, except in matters of discipline.
The Convention of
Tau Beta Pi, normally meeting annually, is the legislative body
of the Association and the final court of appeals in all matters
of interpretation of the Constitution and Bylaws and of discipline.
It is made up of one voting delegate from each of the collegiate
and alumnus chapters, the members of the Executive Council, the
Secretary-Treasurer, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, Directors of
Rituals, Fellowships, and Engineering Futures, and 16 District Directors.
The Convention elects
the Executive Council and grants new chapters. It may enact the
general Bylaws of the Association and may amend the Constitution,
subject to ratification by the collegiate chapters. The Convention
is primarily financed by assessment on the new initiates of each
chapter in the previous year. A Convention Fund, established in
1978 and invested by our trustee, earns an annual return which aids
in meeting the costs of attendance by the collegiate chapter delegates.

The Executive Council is a group of alumnus members
elected by the Convention to lead the Association, under the provisions
of the Constitution and Bylaws and the Acts of the Convention. It guides
the national programs of Tau Beta Pi through a full-time Secretary-Treasurer,
whose offices at the University of Tennessee are the headquarters of the
Association, and other national officials whom it appoints. All actions
taken by the Council or the national officers are reported back to the
Convention.
The first Council
was elected by the first Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 28,
1895, at which Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana Alpha were represented.
Through 1923, Councils were elected annually from the alumnus membership.
In 1923 the Convention adopted the plan of having
the members of the Council elected from the same locality, to serve for
three years. The first "package" Council was located at the
University of Michigan and served the 1924-27 and 1927-30 terms. The amendments
adopted by the 1923 Convention also stipulated that the Secretary-Treasurer
no longer was to be a member of the Executive Council but that the Council
was to appoint an alumnus member to fill the office. R. C. Matthews, Secretary
of the Council from 1905 to 1912 and Secretary-Treasurer to 1924, was
appointed and continued in the position until his retirement in 1947.
World War II prevented
the holding of Conventions in 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945, and
the
Washington, D.C., Council continued in office until 1947. Incorporation
of the Association in 1947 required enlargement of the Council
to
five members. The 1949 Convention increased the Council's term
to four years. The 1997 Convention eliminated the "package" plan
and allowed members of a Council to reside anywhere.
By action of the
1946 Convention, R. C. Matthews was retired as Secretary-Treasurer
Emeritus and given a lifetime pension. He lived to the age of 99,
dying in 1978. Robert H. Nagel became Secretary-Treasurer and Editor
in August 1947 and served to October 1982 when he was named Secretary-Treasurer
Emeritus; he died in 1997 at the age of 79. James D. Froula became
Secretary-Treasurer and Editor in October 1982 and was named Executive
Director in 1999.
The full-time position
of Assistant Secretary-Treasurer was created by the Executive Council
in 1963. Its first occupant was F. F. Lyle, Jr. who served to 1969.
R. E. Warmack served from 1970-72, J. P. Kesselring from 1972-74,
D. J. Soukup from 1976-84, and K. L. Martin from 1984-86. R. E.
Hawks was appointed to the post in May 1986.
