Becoming an Executive Committee Member

Elected directors who wish to serve on the Executive Committee must complete an application and must have served as a voting director for at least three consecutive years prior to applying for an interview with the Past Presidents Committee. Again, these are volunteer positions and are not paid positions.

The Executive Committee consists of five positions:

• President

• First Vice President

• Second Vice President

• Two Member Positions

Once elected, members may serve on the Executive Committee for a maximum of five years. Traditionally, individuals serve two years as a member before advancing through the vice president roles and ultimately to president. Each position is nominated and elected annually, and the Past Presidents Committee may recommend new candidates if they determine someone else is better qualified.

After the interviews, the Past Presidents Committee will present its recommended slate of nominees to the Board of Directors during the New Board of Director Meeting on Monday of the Convention. An individual included on the slate of nominees presented by the Past Presidents Committee may be challenged from the floor, provided that the person challenging them has also been interviewed by the Past Presidents Committee.

Executive Committee elections are governed by the Bylaws, and the election conducted at the Convention and approved by the Board of Directors at the New Board of Director Meeting is final and not subject to reconsideration.
