Descriptions of Open Board Positions
President-Elect: The President-Elect is a member of the Board of Directors with vote and performs the duties which are usual and customary for a Vice-President. In the event that the President fails to serve their term for any reason, the President-Elect shall succeed to the unexpired remainder of the term and continue to serve through their scheduled term. The President-Elect is also a member of the Executive Committee with vote, which is comprised of the Officers of the Division.
Member-at-Large: The Member-at-Large shall represent the interests of the larger Division membership on the Board of Directors. They shall function in any capacity assigned by the President that does not conflict with their responsibility to the membership at large. The duties of this position will likely be initially designated by the President-Elect. The President and/or President-Elect may consider assigning the Member-at-Large to serve as Chair or Chair-elect of one of the Division’s committees as a measure for increasing continuity (i.e., board succession plan), board efficiency, and streamlining board functions.
