Article III - Administration
Article III – Administration
§ 1. Board – the Board shall consist of all elected and appointed officers as enumerated under Articles IV and V. The Board shall hold fortnightly meetings. Attendance is mandatory for all Board members. If officers cannot attend Board meeting, they must give prior notice to the Vice President of Membership or the President. Attendance is necessary for Board members to be efficient officers. Absence from five meetings in one year or from three without excuse constitutes grounds for dismissal of an officer. The current Board determines the means for excusing an absence. Unless otherwise indicated by the President, all Board meetings are open to all members of the chapter. Anyone present may participate in discussion. Whenever possible, the Board should reach its decisions by discussion rather than by voting. At least one-half of the Board shall be present to reach a binding decision, whether by discussion or by voting. If a vote is necessary, all members of the Board have the right to vote or abstain, with the exception of the President. The President casts the deciding vote in the event of a tie. The Board may also adopt any rules consistent with this Constitution in order to ensure responsible and efficient administration of its duties.
§ 2. Executive Board – The Executive Board shall consist of the President, the Vice President of Membership, the Vice President of Logistics, and the Vice President of Programming. The Executive Board shall meet at the request of the President to interview and select appointed Board members, discuss and decide cases of dereliction of duty by Board members and committee chairs, handle general disputes, and discuss any other serious matter deemed necessary.
§ 3. Judicial Committee – The Judicial Committee shall consist of five members. Two members shall be selected from the Executive Board. Two members, not Board members, shall be elected from the chapter at large. One member shall be selected by the Board. Once formed, the members of the Judicial Committee shall choose one member to serve as chairman. The Judicial Committee may decide conflicts concerning the Constitution, Chapter Rules, and committee rules. The Judicial Committee may decide disputes regarding Board members and committee members if the dispute cannot be resolved by the President or committee chair. The Judicial Committee shall hear appeals of dismissal proceedings for appointed officers. All cases dealing with individual members shall be kept confidential unless two-thirds of the chapter votes for the records to be made public. All cases concerning the Constitution, Chapter Rules, and committee rules shall be open and public. Except in cases of dismissal appeals of appointed officers, the consent of two members of the Judicial Committee is necessary for a case to be heard. The Judicial Committee shall meet whenever necessary or according to any rules set by its members.
