Almost from its beginning The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has leaned upon a group of state representatives. The number of different state representatives who have served the Council during the thirty-four years of its existence is very great and our debt to them is incalculable.

Below is the list of state representatives of the Council for the school year 1957-58. The activity of the state representatives, working with the Committee on Membership, was an important factor in our increase of 2400 in number of members and subscribers during the 1956-57 school year. The indications at this point of the present school year are that we shall have another increase equal to, or greater than, this. We are much indebted to the state representatives for their support.

This chapter first considers the means, from election to selection to nomination, by which IO leaders are (s)elected and the consequences of those methods. It is followed by a discussion on the qualities regarded as necessary for successful tenure, stressing the need for trust, expertise, and legitimacy. It then analyses the three roles that the leaders of IOs, to a greater or lesser extent, must play. They are diplomats dealing with state leaders and talking in international forums. They are politicians negotiating with the state representatives on a daily basis. They are managers heading an often large secretariat. How they balance these roles often determines their capacity to shape the outcomes of their organization.
