Executive Committee
The EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE is the governing body of the Society. It is composed of nine elected trustees. Three trustees are elected each year. Four trustees serve as at-large members. At least one trustee is elected from each of the four geographic regions:
NE = Sheridan, Johnson, Campbell, Crook, Weston
SE = Converse, Niobrara, Platte, Goshen, Laramie, Albany, Carbon
NW = Park, Big Horn, Hot Springs, Washakie, Fremont, Natrona
SW = Teton, Lincoln, Sublette, Uinta, Sweetwater
At large trustees may reside in any part of the state. To qualify for nomination as a regional trustee, a member's principal place of residence must be located within that region.
Three trustees shall be elected each year. The rotation of trustee positions which are open for election shall not change except through modification of the Constitution.
The Executive committee shall reorganize annually, immediately following the annual business meeting of the society membership. This group plans the activities of the year, meets at least four times a year, or may meet as frequently as called by the president to expedite the business of the Society. Local chapter presidents, or their designated representative, are considered voting members of the Executive Committee when invited by the president to attend a given meeting or meetings. As a committee this group shall select from amongst themselves a President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
PRESIDENT:
The president sets the dates of the Executive Committee meetings, prepares the agenda, presides at all meetings that the committee and the business meetings, and presides at the Annual Business Meeting. The president coordinates activities of the State Society and its chapters. The president appoints committee chairmen and members with the assistance of the Executive Committee and, in accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws, serves on various other committees involving awards and grants. The president issues follow-up letters to see that committee chairmen are functioning and know their time limits. The president presents those program awards not under the authority of the 2nd vice president and introduces the new officers at the Annual Meeting.
FIRST VICE PRESIDENT:
The first vice president is Chairman of the Projects Committee and also assumes responsibility for planning the Annual Trek.
SECOND VICE PRESIDENT:
The second vice president is chairman of the Awards Committee and is in charge of the Awards Program of the Society. Award winners must be reported to the membership coordinator at least three to four weeks before the Annual Meeting so winners can be notified and awards certificates prepared. At the Annual Meeting this officer presents the award certificates to the winners.
SECRETARY:
The secretary takes minutes of the Executive Committee meetings and the Annual Meeting, and handles other correspondence pertaining to the office as directed.
TREASURER:
The treasurer records deposits made by the membership coordinator, pays bills, and maintains the financial accounts thereon. The treasurer issues such financial statements as are required for the Executive Committee meetings and Annual Meeting and has the books reviewed annually immediately after the end of the fiscal year.
AT LARGE TRUSTEES:
The four remaining trustees, along with the officers of the Executive Committee, will work with county presidents when assistance is needed and keep chapters informed of the WSHS projects, request assistance in planning projects and suggestions on new projects to keep the Society "saving the Wyoming history". All trustees shall attend the Executive Board meetings if at all possible as voting members.
