GEN101. Standing Committee Members. Each standing committee shall consist of at least three members, appointed by the President with the advice and majority vote of the Executive Committee. To be eligible for a standing committee assignment, an individual must be a current AQHA member in good standing and complete the requisite application and be received by the office of the Executive Vice President on or before March 15 of the year that the individual is applying for standing committee assignment.
-
GEN101.1 To provide continuity and experience of members, standing committee assignments may be made for a term longer than one year, but in no event shall an appointment be longer than three years.
-
GEN101.2 To enable a standing committee to properly function, each member is required to attend all meetings; upon two consecutive absences, a member is automatically removed without further action.
-
GEN101.3 By unanimous vote, at any time during a standing committee member's tenure, with or without cause, the Executive Committee may terminate an individual's tenure on a standing committee. At its discretion, the Executive Committee may reassign the person to another standing committee. As service on AQHA's standing committees is a privilege, not a right, termination of tenure may be made without prior notice or right to hearing.
-
GEN101.4 Should a Director fail to be re-elected, or, for any reason fail to serve his term as an AQHA Director, his standing committee assignment is automatically terminated.
