VIII. Executive Board (Cont’d.)

 

In the event that an elected officer becomes unable to fulfill his/her term of office the Executive Board, at its discretion, shall immediately so advise the membership. The remaining Executive Board members will then follow the procedure outline below:

 

• If the resigning officer is the President, the Vice President will be asked to agree to become President for the remaining term of office, with the approval of the general membership. Executive Board members will nominate an individual to fill the remaining Vice Presidential term subject to approval of the general membership at the next general membership meeting;

• If the Vice President does not agree to fill the remaining Presidential term, the Elections Committee will convene in order to select a nominee for the approval, first, of the Executive Board and, then, of the general membership.

• If the resigning officer is the Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer the Elections Committee will convene and select a candidate to fill the unexpired term with the approval of the Executive Board and the general membership.
