§ 71 Board Chair And Officer Duties

This law says the board picks a chairperson who can be removed anytime, the chair can appoint an executive officer to run meetings and keep records, and the state must give the board free, accessible office space.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board chooses a chairperson who serves at the board's discretion.
  • •The chair can appoint an executive officer to attend meetings, keep records, and handle other duties.
  • •The department must provide the board with free, easily accessible office space for disabled veterans.

Example

A veteran nonprofit board needs a place to hold meetings and store documents.

Because the board’s chair can appoint someone to keep records and the department must supply meeting space at no cost, the board can use a free, wheelchair‑friendly office.
