EXECUTIVE BOARD
Section 1. The affairs of this Association shall be managed by its Executive
Board. The Executive Board shall consist of the elected officers, the
past presidents who hold the position of administrator, and five members
appointed by the President. All past presidents shall be welcome, gratis,
at meetings of the Executive Board but will serve without vote. The President
shall make these appointments with a view toward selection of one member
of the Board from each intermediate appellate court circuit.
Section 2. A majority of the entire Executive Board shall constitute a
quorum. This quorum shall be necessary to transact the business of this
Association and to take final action. Action without a meeting may be
taken by the signed consent of a simple majority of Board membership.
Board members may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone
call, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting. Voting by proxy shall not be permitted.
Section 3. Notice of meetings of the Executive Board shall be given to
each member not less than five (5) days prior to the meeting. The notice
shall contain the purpose, place, date and time of the meeting. If deemed
an emergency by the President and concurred in by a majority of the Executive
Board, the five days notice requirement may be waived. In the event of
a vacancy on the Executive Board, the President shall appoint a member
of the Association to fill the unexpired term of that member.
Section 4. The President shall be Chair of the Board and presiding officer
at all meetings. The Executive Board shall meet at the call of the President.
The President shall call an Executive Board meeting at least once a year.
To promote well-organized semi-annual meetings of the entire Association,
the President should, if possible, call an Executive Board Meeting approximately
six weeks before each semi-annual meeting.
