1.00 All Elected and Appointed Members of the Board Job Description

Each elected and appointed member of the Board of Directors (including affiliate presidents) shall:

  1. Be a voting member of the Board. Exception: The advisor does not have a vote.
  2. Recognize that the most recent Bylaws adopted by the membership shall rule over job descriptions in the event of discrepancies that might develop between the Bylaws (and its revisions) and the job descriptions as described in this section.
  3. Attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, designated subcommittee meetings, conferences and annual meetings.
  4. Maintain contact with the President, keeping her abreast of the activities of the board member/committee and informing her of action on a current basis. The President is an ex-officio member of all committees, except Nominations and Elections, and must be notified of any meetings of any committees.
  5. File a written report at least three (3) weeks prior to each meeting of the Board or at such a date as designated by the President. The purpose of this report is to inform all members of the Board of the recent activities of the board member and/or her committee and to propose action the member plans to seek from the Board at its next meeting. Handouts at meetings shall be 3-hole punched and shall be kept to a minimum.
  6. File an Annual Report to the general membership by a date established by the President.
  7. Regularly contribute to The Buckeye Bulletin, the official newsletter of the Association.
  8. Select committee members as directed by the Bylaws. It is recommended that EOPO members who have not been active in the past as well as experienced EOPO members be encouraged to participate as committee members. A roster of committees shall be presented to the Board for approval.
  9. Restrict spending to the amount appropriated in the annual budget. If that amount goes over budget, it must have prior approval from the Board of Directors.
  10. Make notations in the job-specific area of this procedures manual that would benefit any future holder of that office or chairmanship. It is the responsibility of the current board member to make contact with and brief the successor and to transfer to the successor this procedures manual and any other assets of the association upon leaving office.
  11. Finish or arrange for completion of all work of the term, even if that work extends beyond the installation of the successor. Examples of this would be that the Vice President finishes after-conference work of the Spring Conference; Scholarship Chairman arranges for payment of money to the scholarship recipient(s) and send press releases, etc.
