§ 6837 Board Member Terms

• •Board members normally have four‑year terms.
• •The first chairman only serves for two years.
• •The other members draw lots to decide who starts with 1, 2, 3, or 4‑year terms.

A new board is created. Jane is named the first chairman and will stay in that role for two years. The other members pull names out of a hat: Tom gets a one‑year term, Sam gets two years, Alex gets three years, and Lee gets four years.

Jane’s short two‑year term and the random draw set up staggered start dates, so not everyone leaves at once. After those initial periods, each member who stays on will have a regular four‑year term.
