Title 485 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR INTERIOR DESIGN
Chapter 485-X-1 - COMPOSITION AND OPERATION OF THE BOARD
Section 485-X-1-.08 - Officers
Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 5, February 29, 2024
The board shall elect officers from current board members annually and at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the next term. If elections do not occur prior to the end of an officer's term, the previous officer shall serve until a new officer is elected. A vacancy in an officer position will require a special election to fill that vacancy and to ensure continuity of operations of the board. A slate of nominees may be developed prior to a board meeting and/or nominations may be taken from the floor to be voted on at that meeting. Officer positions shall be:
(a) Chair - responsible for directing board meetings, signing minutes and contracts of the board, and acting as the head of the board in all matters concerning the board. With approval of the board, the Chair may form and disband committees as needed for the execution of board duties.
(b) Vice-Chair - responsible for directing board meetings in the absence of the Chair. Ideally, the Vice-Chair would be prepared to take over the Chair position in the event of the vacancy or end of term of the current Chair.
(c) Secretary/Treasurer - responsible for executing and safeguarding the record-keeping and financial duties and responsibilities of the board, acting as the main financial contact for the board, making any required financial reports to the state, making any other reports required by other state and federal entities, and attesting to minutes of the board.
(d) Executive Officer - an Executive Director may be hired to execute regular administrative duties of the board and run board meetings, but the board members maintain oversight responsibility for all business of the board. The Executive Director may act as the main board contact for all daily business of the board and provide a continuity of knowledge and procedure across many terms of appointed members and officers.
Previous Rule 485-X-1-.08 was renumbered to .07 as per certification filed September 15, 2008; effective October 20, 2008.
