The ACLP Board of Directors is a panel of individuals who are elected to represent the child life community. The board is responsible for protecting the interests of those in the child life community, a fiduciary duty to protect the organization's assets and member's investment, oversight of the organization, and making decisions about important issues the organization and profession face. 

The ACLP Board of Directors is made up of the President, President-Elect, Immediate Past President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Directors (4). In addition, there are three non-voting members which include the Canadian Association of Child Life Leaders President, Child Life Certification Commission Chair, and the ACLP Executive Leader.

The ACLP Board of Directors holds four annual board meetings. The meetings in November and May are in-person, multi-day meetings that include a review of board reports sent in from all ACLP committees and working groups, financial updates, budget approvals, headquarters and administrative updates, and review of key performance indicators. The August and February meetings are conducted virtually and are held to address any committee actions or information needs that arise as well as a way to continue to monitor progress on ACLP strategic initiatives.
