What’s expected of New Directors
Four Directors of the Association will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The term of a Director is three years. Occasionally, a vacancy requires that an additional Director must also be elected to complete a partial term.
Each Director will be expected to attend all five Executive Committee meetings which are held each year. Two of these meeting are held during each Annual Conference. The first is held in the afternoon on the Sunday on which the conference begins. The second conference meeting (which of course, is the first meeting for Directors newly–elected during the conference) is held in the morning of the Wednesday on which the conference concludes.
Additionally, a Saturday Executive Committee meeting is held each December, March/April, and June at various locations throughout the State. These locations are selected by the President. Travel costs relating to the three Saturday meetings, including applicable lodging, will be reimbursed by the Association.
Each Director will be assigned to one or more of the Association’s committees by the President and will be expected to participate as directed by the committee(s) chair(s).
