Executive Board
BAE’s Executive Committee meets monthly and officers serve staggered one or two-year terms, but there are no limits to consecutive terms. If at all possible, position changes are staggered for continuity and organizational memory. The duties of the Executive Committee broadly include:
- Carrying out any necessary business of the Association between the general meetings.
- Approving a budget for each year.
- Establishing and overseeing the operation of the committees of the Association.
- Authorizing any matters to be submitted to a vote of the general membership of the Association including election of officers. The Executive Committee will receive and consider petitions from the membership for matters to be submitted to a vote of the general membership of the Association.
- Maintaining records and official documents of the association.
That business aside, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and have a lot of fun developing programs for our members and the public!
