Board members shall follow the guidance outlined in Articles
III and IV of the Chapter by-laws
Board members shall meet monthly to discuss Chapter matters.
As stated in Article II section G, Boards members agree to attend
all possible Board meetings. If due to other commitments a Board
member misses three consecutive Board meetings it will be the responsibility
of that Board member to communicate the feasibility of continuing
in the capacity of the Board position.
It is the responsibility of all Board members to carry out
their roles & responsibilities in between Board meetings & communicate
activities/accomplishments to all Board members.
If a Board member can not attend a scheduled meeting it will
be their responsibility to ensure the agenda items under their realm
of responsibility are communicated to another Board member.
In accordance with Article III, section I, item 2 of the Chapter
by-laws, a Board member may resign from their position prior to
the expiration of their term. The Board requests a written request
for resignation with a minimum of two months notification.
Board members agree to attend as many Chapter events as possible.
The Board recognizes that on occasion, due to a last minute commitment,
a Board member may not be able to attend an event. If and when this
occurs (as long as it is not a frequent occurrence) that Board member
will not be charged for the event.
In accordance with Article III, section E of the Chapter by-laws,
if a vote is going to occur during a Board meeting that a member
can not attend, they may cast a proxy vote by communicating their
decision to another Board member. This should be done via e-mail
or written note so that Board member can bring the proxy vote to
the meeting.
Executive Board Member
Each Executive Board Member will be responsible to manage and oversee
all areas of their Executive Board Position. This includes overseeing
all Board members, committees and volunteers who are operating within
their Executive Board position. Currently ASTD-NH has 6 Executive
Board Members: President, President Elect, VP of Marketing, VP of
Communications/Secretary, VP of Programs, VP of Chapter Administration,
and VP of Membership.
Executive Board Members are voting members on the Board. ASTD National
requires all Executive Board Members to be members of ASTD National.
This annual fee will be paid for each Executive Board member by ASTD-NH.
If an Executive Board member wishes to donate their annual ASTD national
membership to ASTD-NH they may do so by contacting the Chapter Administration
Board member. Along with being members of National ASTD, each Executive
Board member must abide by the Chapter By-laws and policies set fourth
in this Chapter Operations Manual.
General Board Member
General Board members will work directly with Executive Board members
to help ASTD-NH reach their goals and objectives. General Board members
do not have to be members of national ASTD, but must abide by the
Chapter By-laws and policies set fourth in this Chapter Operations
Manual.
In addition to the 6 Executive Board members, ASTD-NH has 6 General
Board Members, one General Board Member to assist each Executive Board
member. The Executive Board may change the number of General Board
Member positions to better serve the needs of the Chapter. When the
Executive Board changes the number of General Board Members this change
will be reflected in this chapter of the Chapter Operations Manual.
Committee Member
Any member of ASTD-NH may serve on a committee. Committees may be
formed for any project that works to serve the needs of ASTD-NH and
it's members. ASTD-NH members may volunteer to be on a committee for
short-term or long-term projects. If an ASTD-NH member has a specific
interest or experience they would like to contribute to the Chapter,
the Executive Board will work to find a project that serves their
interests.
Executive Board Members, with the assistance of Board Members, will
be responsible for their committees and will give guidance and support
whenever it is necessary.
Committee members will not be actual members of the Board, but the
work of committees will be key to the success of the Chapter.
