This law says the board must choose a chairperson each year and also choose a vice‑chairperson each year who steps in and does the same job if the chair can’t be there.

Key Takeaways

•The board must pick a chairperson every year.

Example

A community group’s board meets and votes Jane as chair and Mark as vice‑chair. When Jane gets sick and can’t attend a meeting, Mark runs the meeting and has the same authority as Jane would have.

Because the board elected a vice‑chair, Mark can act as chair and do everything the chair is supposed to do when the chair is absent.

The board of directors shall annually elect a chairperson who shall preside at all meetings. The board of directors shall also annually elect a vice chairperson, who, in the event of the chairperson’s absence or inability to act, shall act as chairperson, and, while so acting, shall have all of the power and obligations of the chairperson. (Amended by Stats. 2016, Ch. 381, Sec. 23. (AB 2196) Effective January 1, 2017.)

This law says the board must choose a chairperson each year and also choose a vice‑chairperson each year who steps in and does the same job if the chair can’t be there.
