Within fourteen (14) days after the annual Board election in April, the Board will meet to administer the oath of office to new Board members and to elect a president and vice-president. Thereafter, on or before the 15th day of July of each year, the Board shall elect a secretary and a treasurer, who shall enter upon their respective duties on the 15th day of July. The secretary and treasurer may or may not be members of the Board (RSMo. Section 162.301(2)).

Each Board member shall be eligible to hold every board office during their term of office except that a member in the first year of their first term of office shall not be elected to the office of president or vice-president.

No member shall serve two years in a row of the same office unless all other members who have not held that office during their current term of office decline to be a candidate for that office.

Offices held in prior terms of office shall not be considered in this policy and each newly elected member shall be starting the first year of their term as set out herein.
