The seven-member Board of Directors of the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and five other members of the CFSEI. At least five of these members shall be Professional Members. The President, once his or her term is complete, becomes the Immediate Past President (IPP.) If the Immediate Past President (IPP) was not re-elected to the Board, then the IPP becomes a non-voting advisory member of the board. The Secretary is a non-voting position on the CFSEI Board and is appointed by the Steel Framing Alliance.

The CFSEI Board, with the consent of the Secretariat, appoints a Nominating Committee consisting of three Professional or Associate members of the CFSEI who are not members of the CFSEI Board and their term is three years. Upon election of a new CFSEI Board, the current Vice President becomes President. The Board then elects the Vice President. The Vice President shall be elected from the active voting members of the Board of Directors. The President of the CFSEI Board exercises general supervision over the technical affairs of the CFSEI, subject to the direction of the CFSEI membership.

Terms of office are staggered so that every year approximately half the seats are up for election or re-election. The term of office of the President and Vice President are one year and the term of the other Board members are two years. The Board terms begins immediately following the Annual Meeting of the CFSEI of the year of election.
