Key Takeaways

  • •This helper can do some of the work the missing board member was supposed to do.
  • •This rule makes sure the appeals board can still work even if someone is away.

Example

If a member of the appeals board is sick and can't come to a meeting, the chairman can ask the executive officer to step in and do the job.

The chairman can give some of their work to the executive officer so things still get done even if someone is missing.
