Q:  We have a Conference President approaching the end of her second term and trying to plan her succession. No current member of this active Conference seems willing to step up to succeed her. If that does not change, what should happen with the Conference?

A:  There are two choices, either elect someone from within or close the Conference. It is up to the Conference members to step forward and provide leadership for their Conference. A District Council president can temporarily appoint someone to be Conference President if no president is nominated before the current president term ends, but an election has to take place as soon as possible and within a reasonable time. The current president should NOT stay in office after their term has officially ended.

Q:  Can you cite how often District Councils are to meet? I can’t seem to locate this information in “The Rule.”

A:  Refer to your adopted bylaws. In each District Council bylaws is an article titled Meeting Frequency and Notice Requirements that reads, “The Board shall decide upon a schedule of regular Board meetings and present said schedule to the Corporation members annually.”

P: Tenemos a una Presidenta de Conferencia que se acerca al final de su segundo mandato y está tratando de planificar su sucesión. Ningún miembro actual de esta Conferencia activa parece estar dispuesto a dar un paso al frente para sucederla. Si eso no cambia, ¿qué debería suceder con la Conferencia?

R: Hay dos opciones, elegir a alguien dentro o cerrar la Conferencia. Corresponde a los miembros de la Conferencia dar un paso al frente y dirigir su Conferencia. Un Presidente de Consejo de Distrito puede nombrar temporalmente a alguien para que sea Presidente de la Conferencia si no se nombra a ningún Presidente antes de que termine el mandato del Presidente actual; Sin embargo, las elecciones deben celebrarse lo antes posible y dentro de un plazo razonable. El actual Presidente NO debe permanecer en el cargo después de que su mandato haya terminado oficialmente.

P: ¿Puede citar la frecuencia con la que se reúnen los Consejos de Distrito? Parece que no puedo localizar esta información en “La Regla”.

R: Refiérase a los Estatutos que se adoptaron. En los Estatutos de cada Consejo de Distrito hay un artículo titulado Frecuencia de Reuniones y Requisitos de Notificación que dice: “La Mesa Directiva decidirá sobre un calendario de reuniones regulares de la Mesa Directiva y presentará dicho calendario a los miembros de la Corporación anualmente”.
