Officer elections 2008

At the spring 2008 meeting TCART will hold elections for two officer positions: President and Treasurer.

The positions will serve two-year terms beginning after the conclusion of the spring meeting. No individual may serve more than two consecutive full terms of office. The two positions form half of the TCART Executive Committee consisting of the four elected officers.

Descriptions of the two positions from the TCART Bylaws are as follows:

President
The President shall be the principal executive officer of TCART and shall in general supervise and control all of the affairs of TCART. He or she shall preside at all business meetings of TCART and of the Executive Committee. He or she must sign with one other member of the Executive Committee any contracts or other instruments which Committee has authorized to be executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the Committee or by these by-laws or by statute to some other officer or agent of the organization, and in general shall perform all duties incident to the office of president.

Treasurer
The Treasurer shall have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds and securities of the TCART; shall receive and give receipts for moneys due and payable to TCART from any source whatsoever, and shall deposit all such moneys in the name of TCART in such banks, trust companies or other depositories as shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of these by-laws; and shall in general perform all the duties incident to the office of Treasurer and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the President or by the Executive Committee. The Treasurer shall present a budget statement at each regular meeting. In the absence of the President and Secretary, the Treasurer shall preside at business meetings of TCART and at meetings of the Executive Committee.
