GOVERNANCE

The America First Academy of Arts & Sciences™ (AFAAS™) is governed as an independent, academy-led institution.

Governance authority resides with the Academy and its designated stewards, 

who are responsible for:

• Establishing institutional standards and eligibility criteria
• Preserving the independence and credibility of Academy programs
• Ensuring consistency across sanctioned recognitions and publications
• Safeguarding the long-term mission and legacy of the institution
   

Programs are developed and introduced deliberately, with governance structures established prior to public expansion.

The Academy does not engage in political advocacy.

Its role is institutional stewardship, standards-setting, and the recognition of enduring contribution intended to endure beyond any individual, generation, or event.
