Each Director will act as an advisor to a number of committees. Increase the Director term The increased term provides from 1 year to 2 years greater stability for the Board and ensures that knowledge gained by a Director in their first year came be retained and put to good use in the second year. Stagger the election of The intent is to ensure that Directors so that each year the Board is not comprised no more than half the of 100% new Directors each Directors are elected year. Set the maximum number This provides dedicated of consecutive terms at 4 Volunteers with the ability to serve one or two terms as a Director, gain experience, and then run for Senior VP. March 5, 2005 Instrument of Change Special Resolution to be voted on by membership Bylaw No 2 Section 8 Bylaw No 2 Section 7 Bylaw No 2 Section 8 24 Changes Required Change Introduce the position of Senior Vice President as an appointed officer Allow the Board of Directors to appoint committees to assist with the operational work of the Chapter Establish the Past President as the Chairperson of the Board March 5, 2005 Reason for Change The Senior Vice President position is a learning position and is part of the succession planning. This position works very close with the President. Each year the Board of Directors elects a new Senior Vice President. This is the mechanism for separating the strategic and operational roles within the organization. The Board of Directors will appoint several committees to manage functional areas within operations. Each committee will have 2 Director advisors, a Vice President and an Assistant Vice President. This provides a level of independence from the Management Team by giving the Chairperson role to the Past President instead of the President.
