Article 6 Chair of the joint board

The members of the joint board must elect the chair of the joint board annually from amongst the members.

The election of the chair must be the first business transaction at the annual meeting of the joint board which takes place on the first Friday in June of each year.

If, in the election of the chair, there is an equality of votes, the person presiding at the annual meeting has a casting vote in addition to any other vote which that person may have.

Unless the chair resigns or becomes disqualified to act as chair, the chair is to continue in office until a successor is elected as chair.

During a person’s term of office as chair, that person is to continue to be a member of the joint board.
