The Executive committee reorganizes 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.
