§ 101102 Director Term Lengths

This rule says that, except for the very first board members, each director serves a four‑year term that starts at noon on the first Monday after January 1 and ends when the next director is officially appointed and ready to serve.

Key Takeaways

  • •Directors (except the first ones) get a four‑year term.
  • •The term starts at noon on the first Monday after Jan 1.
  • •The term ends only when the next director is appointed and qualified.

Example

Jane is elected to the board in 2024. Her term begins at noon on the first Monday after Jan 1, 2025, and will run for four years.

Jane will stay a director until the new person who is chosen to replace her is officially appointed and qualified, which could be a little after the exact four‑year mark.
