§ 125100 Board Officer Elections

Key Takeaways

  • •The board picks a chairman and vice chairman every year in January.
  • •The chairman runs all the meetings.
  • •If both the chairman and vice chairman are missing, the people at the meeting pick someone to be the temporary chairman.
  • •The temporary chairman has the same power as the regular chairman while they are in charge.

Example

Imagine a school club where the leader and the second-in-command are both sick on meeting day.

The kids who show up to the meeting would vote for one of them to be the temporary leader for that day. That temporary leader can do everything the regular leader would do, like run the meeting and make decisions.
