SUMMARY:
In accordance with Board Governance Policy GP-5.3 (Attachment 1), the Board elects both the Chairperson (Chair) and Vice Chairperson (Vice Chair) of the Board of Directors to serve one-year terms beginning at the first regular Board meeting in January of each year.

Under the provisions of Board Governance Policy GP-5.3, beginning in the calendar year 2012, the positions of Chair and Vice Chair shall rotate from member to member in numerical order continuing from the 2010 rotations.

Any Board member may, at his/her discretion, and on a one-time basis, postpone, by one year, the acceptance of either the Chair or Vice Chair office by "swapping" with the Director immediately following him/her on the list of succession.

Provided, however, that newly elected or appointed Board members will postpone, by one year, the acceptance of the Chair office by "swapping" with the Director immediately following him/her on the list of succession.

Any Board member may, at his/her discretion decline to serve as Chair or Vice Chair. In the event the Board member declines to serve, that District shall be skipped, and the next District Board member shall serve in their stead.

The policy also requires that the Clerk of the Board maintain the list of Board members serving as Chair and Vice Chair. The historical list is attached for Board information (Attachment 2).
