For how long is a term for Officers of the Board?

The term for Officers of the Board is established as one year. This means that individuals serving in these roles are appointed for a duration that allows for consistent leadership and decision-making within the Board. A one-year term aligns with many governance models, enabling the Board to maintain continuity while allowing for regular assessment and renewal of positions.

Longer terms, such as two or four years, may be customary in other organizations but are not applicable in this context, where a shorter duration ensures that the Board remains responsive to changing needs and can incorporate new perspectives more frequently. A six-month term is typically too short for effective governance, potentially leading to instability among leadership roles. Therefore, a one-year term strikes a balance, facilitating good governance while allowing for necessary changes in leadership.
