BOARD AND OFFICERS SUCCESSION POLICY

​

PURPOSE: To delineate the process for filling board members seats and selection of officers.

​

RATIONALE: To promote shared governance of the club by moderated turnover of the board and officers.  To avoid “critical mass” simultaneous departures of board members and officers.  To avoid “high risk” selection decisions.

​

GOAL:

1. Evaluation of potential board members (and future officers) should begin at the start of the season and during the events where club members may share their work ethic, organizational skills and enthusiasm for the club.

​

• It is suggested that the board have a two man screening committee to prepare the slate and confirm it's in compliance with this policy. 

• Per the by-laws, the entire board acts as the nominating committee, and not just the Vice President.

• At least one of the incoming board members should be qualified to be a future club President.  

                                           

2. Comply with the by-laws of the club.

​

3. Open and transparent process to officers/board members and nominees.

 

4. Turn over 2-3 positions per year maximum.

• The first turnover position would nominally be the outgoing Past-President.  The exception might be if the outgoing past president were moving to the role of another officer.

• It is recommended that any officer turnover be filled by an existing board member.

• It is recommended that any incoming board members serve a minimum of 1 year on the board before filling an officer position.

• The Vice President slot must be filled by a sitting officer or board member.

 

Following the guidelines set forth provides a succession path for seasoned board members to officers, then to Vice President, and then President.
