How the bylaws work for Officers

Which officers roles for your Society?

Wondering when your board needs to start considering nominations? What the different positions entail?

 Here are the relevant extracts of our bylaws and the ensuing Council composition

 

ARTICLE III
OFFICERS

Section 1.  Number:
The officers of the WFPI include a President, a Vice President, an Immediate Past President, a Secretary, a Vice Secretary, a Treasurer, a Vice Treasurer and a Membership Secretary.


Section 2.  Nomination and tenure of the President:

2.1. The WFPI presidency rotates on a one-year basis amongst the Regional Members’ leadership, with the rotation taking effect during the Annual General Meeting.
2.2. The nominated individual serves as Vice President for a single one year term, then succeeds to the Presidency for a single one year term at the end of the preceding President’s term, or sooner if the preceding President is unable to fulfill the duties of her or his office. She or he subsequently becomes Immediate Past President for a final one-year term.
2.3. The choice of individual, determined at Regional Member level, falls to a person of authority in her or his Regional Member organization.
2.4. The roster of Regional Members’ tenure of the presidency is drawn up and agreed by the WFPI Council four years before the assumption of each nominated term, and annexed to the WFPI’s internal regulations.


Section 3.  Nomination and tenure of the Secretary, Vice Secretary, Treasurer and Vice Treasurer:  
3.1. Six  (6) months before the expiry of the current Secretary and Treasurer’s terms, the Secretary calls for candidates for these positions.
3.2. Candidates are drawn from Regional Members organizations, and are persons of authority therein. They are elected by the Council. No one Regional Member can hold two key positions (President, Secretary or Treasurer) at any one time, unless exceptional and entirely justifiable circumstances necessitate otherwise.
3.3. The Secretary prepares a ballot of all nominees for each office, designating the mode of nomination.  Balloting takes place electronically, with the results announced at the next Annual Council Meeting.
3.4. Upon announcement, the future Secretary becomes Vice Secretary for a single term of two years before taking office as Secretary, and the future Treasurer becomes Vice Treasurer for a single term of two years before taking office as Treasurer.
3.5. The Secretary and Treasurer hold a non-renewable term of two years. One two-year term must then elapse before they are eligible for office again.
