Epsilon Pi Tau has inducted 90,000 plus members since its inception.  Technology has been the common and unifying theme.  It connects a highly diverse membership.  Some are preparing for or practicing in technical and professional positions.  Others study and continue a professional engagement with the phenomenon of technology as it affects individuals and society.  Individual members may benefit from the synergism resulting from this highly diverse membership.

As the premier academic and professional honors group for technology programs in higher education, workforce development programs, and professionals in practice, Epsilon Pi Tau has provided honor and distinction to members, institutions, programs, and individuals throughout the world for 80 years.  Members reside in every state of the United States and in 49 other nations.

The Code of Epsilon Pi Tau includes a Constitution and By-Laws.  The by-laws prescribe the governing bodies and how they are organized.  The Board of Directors’ functions and responsibilities and the operations of the International organization are detailed.  Information upon which chapters can base their own by-laws is provided.

Chapters (campus and field) and groupings for at-large members are the basic governing units.  The world is divided into five geographic regions, each including chapters and member units.  Each region has an elected Director who serves on a seven-member Board of Directors. 

Campus and field chapter Trustees must be Epsilon Pi Tau members and meet other performance criteria to be appointed.  Regional Directors appoint Trustees upon recommendations that comply with the criteria. Trustees represent chapter officers and chapter members when voting on international organizational matters, such as elections and revisions of the constitution and by-laws. 

Board policy execution and normal business operations are the responsibility of a board-appointed Executive Director who staffs the International Office. In response to increasing interests, changes in that office include the creation and staffing of a Community and Technical Colleges Division, an International Development and Services Division, and a Communications and Publications Division.

Usually, in conjunction with one of the major professional associations for which Epsilon Pi Tau is the official honor society, the board conducts two official meetings each year and holds open Epsilon Pi Tau meetings for Trustees, officers, and members to inform and seek input on organizational matters.
