§ 54149 Board Officer Election Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must pick a president, vice president(s), secretary, and treasurer. They can also add other jobs if their rules say so.
  • •One person can do more than one job, but the same person can't be both president and secretary.
  • •The treasurer can be a bank instead of a person. If it's a bank, the secretary does the money tracking, but the board decides where to keep the money.

Example

A small club's board needs to assign jobs to its members.

They pick a president, a vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer. They also decide to use a bank as the treasurer, so the secretary will keep track of the money, but the board chooses which bank to use.

§ 54149 Board Officer Election Rules

The directors shall elect a president, one or more vice presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, and such other officers as may be prescribed by the bylaws. Any two or more offices, except those of president and secretary, may be held by the same person. The treasurer may be a bank or any depository and as such, shall not be considered as an officer, but as a function of the board of directors. In such case, the secretary shall perform the usual accounting duties of the treasurer, except that the funds shall be deposited only as and where authorized by the board of directors. (Amended by Stats. 1967, Ch. 107.)
