Discussion
The Board's Committee Guidelines require that the Board annually review, reaffirm, or amend the charters of all Standing Committees. On July 15, 2013, the Board voted to dissolve all standing committees except the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter was last reviewed and approved by the Board on June 19, 2020.
The Guidelines further provide that a Standing Committee may be established by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors in attendance at a meeting. A Standing Committee shall exist until such time, if any, as the Standing Committee is abolished by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors in attendance at a meeting.
Each Standing Committee shall be composed of at least three (3) directors, including a chairperson, appointed annually by the Board President, and approved by a majority of the Board, at a Regular or Special Called Board Meeting following the Annual Membership Meeting, or at any other time when a vacancy occurs in the chair.
