New Board in April? New Chairs in May? Question Mark?

[uglyknees]

I’m not entirely sure how the calendar works with chairs.
I’m not planning on re-running (but I’m willing to be a vice-chair) so I need to outline in my brain how it works so I can figure out how to best situate everything.

I had in my brain October. But I’m not sure why.

The board? Feel free to chime in

I think the plan is to chain you to a chair so that you can never leave us.

Short Answer:

• There is an election to vote on the Board of Directors once a year, in the Spring (usually March or April. This year in April.)

• We currently request that Committees hold meetings twice a year to vote on committee chairs, once in the spring and once in the fall (usually the month leading up to the Board Elections in the Spring, and again in the fall around September or October.).

Here is Alex’s response to a similar thread:

The election will be April 22nd or 23rd with the first board meeting for the new board to be shortly after that. We haven’t decided which day exactly yet. It was originally going to be the 16th but we’re later informed that was Easter Sunday and could inconvenience people. The meetings to choose committee chairs should happen between the March board meeting and April board meeting.

…and, my follow-up:

@AlexRhodes, is there any reason to not extend the time period for the committees to hold their meetings to vote on their chairperson to include the entire month of March? The reason I ask, is that there are already at least a couple of committee meetings that either have been, or will be, scheduled early in March - before the March Board meeting on March 19th. If that’s not acceptable for any reason, we probably need to reach out to the affected committees ASAP to suggest they either reschedule or plan on having two meetings in March. Thanks!

That being said…

I had in my brain October. But I’m not sure why.

… you were not wrong - it just depends upon whether you would rather step down this spring or next fall…
