Re: President Elect

["Jim Morris" <1005@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

All,

 

I certainly agree that Gary White is eminently qualified to become our next president. 

 

My copy of the Bylaws (October 15, 1997) does not have this provision regarding a President-elect in it.  Can someone enlighten me as to when this came about and why?  AIS is a non-profit corporation and as such the board of directors elects its officers for one-year terms with the president serving not more than three consecutive one-year terms.  When I was "elected" as President-elect I didn't understand why then and still don't.  I didn't do anything different than serving as first vice-president.  ???  Just asking...

 

Jim Morris

It has come to my attention that there was an oversite at the Spring
board meeting this year.  According to ARTICLE VII - OFFICERS, Section 2
of the AIS Bylaws, it states:

                     "The AIS Board of Directors at its annual spring
meeting in those years that the
                       incumbent president is completing the last year
term shall elect a President-elect
                       to take office following the official elections
at its annual fall meeting."

It is my understanding this did not take place.  As such, I make the
following motion.

                             "That Gary White be elected AIS
President-elect"
