Each local chapter shall be allowed two (2) representatives on the Executive Board. Each representative shall serve for a two (2) year term. Only one (1) representative shall be elected each year to provide for an overlap of representation for each local chapter.  The terms, “member of the Executive Board,” “director” and “director member,” as used in these bylaws, shall be interchangeable and mean one and the same thing.

Each member of the Executive Board, including a member appointed to fill a vacancy or appointed at a special members’ meeting, shall hold office until expiration of the term for which appointed or elected and until a successor has been appointed or elected. The initial Executive Board shall consist of one (1) representative from each local chapter to serve a one (1) year term and one (1) member to serve a two (2) year term. Thereafter the members of the Executive Board shall serve for two (2) year terms.  The term of office for each elected representative shall begin with the Association’s annual conference.

Immediately following, or concurrent with, each annual meeting at the annual conference, the Executive Board shall hold a regular meeting for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and the transaction of other business. Notice of this meeting shall not be required.

Other regular meetings of the Executive Board shall be held on a quarterly basis. There shall be a minimum of four (4) meetings per year. Other regular meetings may be held, from time to time, as fixed by the Executive Board
