Re: Election of Officers
Background:
Per the resolution establishing the EDA and the Bylaws, the following officers of the EDA need
to be designated: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Assistant Treasurer. The
President, Treasurer, and Secretary are elected annually. The Vice President and Assistant
Treasurer may hold office for any term as designated by the Board. The same person cannot be
President and Vice-President at the same time.
Current Officers are:
President: Sally Swanson
Vice President: Bruce Swenson
Treasurer: Dan Lee
Secretary/Asst Treasurer: Kristina Handt
Issue:
Who should be appointed to the officer positions of the EDA? What term is established for the
Vice President and Assistant Treasurer?
Proposal Details:
The Secretary and Assistant Treasurer need not be members of the Board. The President, Vice-
President and Treasurer shall be members of the Board, however given my pending leave I
would encourage EDA commissioners to fill these positions for the time being.
Options:
1) Make appointments to all offices at this meeting
2) Post pone all elections until next meeting.
