Section 1

The Club shall be governed by a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and a Membership Officer.

Section 2

A Board of Directors will be comprised of the five (5) Club officers.

Section 3

A) The President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership Officer will be elected for a two year term in each year ending in an odd number.

B) Nominations for officers shall be called for by written notification to all members in good standing not later than 180 days prior to the Club's next annual meeting in an election year. This shall be done by publication in the club’s magazine. In order for a potential candidate to be declared an official nominee and listed on the ballot in any Club election for office, the candidate must receive a minimum of two nominations, which is the equivalent of a nomination and a second.

C) Election ballots will be mailed to each Charter, Regular and Life member in good standing not later than sixty (60) days prior to an annual business meeting, and shall specify the procedure for casting ballots.

D) Newly elected officers shall be installed every two years in odd numbered years at the Club's annual business meeting and shall take office immediately upon installation.

E) The officers shall serve until their successors have been duly installed.

F) Candidates for office shall be limited to all Charter, Regular and Life members of the Club in good standing.

(G)(i) In the event of a vacancy in any elected office, which vacancy occurs within the first year after installation of the officer, a special election shall be held to elect a successor to serve the remaining term of such officer. As soon as practicable after such vacancy occurs, the Board shall cause to be sent to each Charter, Regular and Life member in good standing, a call for nominations. Regardless of the manner of mailing, the call for nominations shall be sent within sixty (60) days after the vacancy. The special election shall take place as soon as practicable after close of nominations, by mailing to all Charter, Regular and Life members in good standing.

(ii) In the event of a vacancy in any elected office, which vacancy occurs after the first year following installation of the officer, the President shall appoint a Charter or Regular or Life member in good standing to hold such office until the installation of the officer’s successor. If the vacancy is the Presidency, then the Board shall appoint such interim President from among the then-existing Charter or Regular or Life members in good standing.

(H) All notice, notification and voting requirements of this Article are deemed met by including the notice and/or ballot in the club magazine, either as bound copy or as an insert. Since Associate Members do not receive the club magazine directly, Charter or Regular or Life Members who have an Associate Member connected to their membership shall bear the responsibility of informing the Associate Member of all these matters, and shall photostat any ballot so that the Associate Member may also vote.
