§ 72055 Commission Alternate Members

Key Takeaways

  • •Every main member of the group has a backup person.
  • •The backup person can do everything the main member can do if the main member is not there.
  • •If the main member leaves, quits, or can't do the job anymore, the backup person takes over until a new main member is chosen.

Example

Imagine you have a team leader at school for a project, and that leader has a backup. If the leader is sick one day, the backup takes over and does all the leader’s jobs, like talking to the teacher and making decisions.

The backup person steps in and does everything the main member would do until the main member comes back or a new one is picked.
