OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
At the first meeting of every even numbered calendar year, the Board shall elect a chair, a
vice-chair and a secretary who will comprise the Executive Committee of the
Guardianship Advisory Board. The Executive Committee shall function as a steering
committee and may act on behalf of the Guardianship Advisory Board in emergency
situations between meetings. Representatives may serve consecutive terms as officers.
The Chair is not eligible to serve as chair of a subcommittee of the Guardianship
Advisory Board. Nominations for officers shall be accepted from the floor by the serving
Chair at the last meeting of every odd numbered calendar year. Voting will be done by
written ballot from each representative in attendance at the first meeting of every even
numbered year provided that a quorum is then present. The Guardianship Alliance
Director will collect and count the ballots. If a representative is nominated by a majority
of the written ballots, the representative is elected. If no one representative receives a
simple majority of the ballots, the nominee who received the lowest number of ballots is
dropped and the members cast written ballots with the remaining nominees. This
procedure is repeated until a nominee receives a majority of the votes. A representative

resignation, removal or disqualification of a representative may be filled by a vote of the
Guardianship Advisory Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
