Board FAQs
Executive Board members (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer) are elected for two year terms, with a maximum of two consecutive terms, at the annual membership meeting in January.
The immediate past President may serve as President Emeritus on the current Board of Directors for one term immediately after the end of their term as President.
The other committee directors are appointed by the Board at the January meeting or as openings become available.
The Business Owner Director may live outside of Lavaca as long as their business is physically located within the Lavaca boundary area.
