§ 7640 Committee Chair Term Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •The leader of the committee can only stay in charge for 2 years.
  • •After their 2 years are up, they can't be the leader again right away.
  • •Someone else has to take over for at least one term before they can lead again.

Example

Imagine your school's student council has a president. The president can only be president for 2 years in a row. After that, they have to step down and let someone else be president for a while.

This rule makes sure that one person doesn't stay in charge for too long and that others get a chance to lead.
