Election and Terms of Officers
The election of the league officers is done on the night of the January meeting. The offices of League President, League Vice President, Division President and Division Vice President are one year terms. The presidents of each level (6) are the previous years vice presidents such that each year a new vice president is elected at each level. This concept gives the president one year of tutoring to become the following years president. This is not to say that an individual cannot hold the presidency for more than one year. If he desires, he may seek re-election for the position. Under these circumstances the vice president can also be the same, or a new person may be elected to the position.
The Secretary and the Treasurer positions are two year terms. The Hallie Youth Days Chairman and Co-Chairman are one year obligations. The League Scheduler is an ongoing obligation filled by a volunteer with experience in scheduling.
Each Team shall have one vote in all elections, and in any matter brought before the league. League officers do not have a vote, unless they are acting as a representative for a team. EXCEPTION - In the event of a tie, the League President shall cast the deciding vote. The League President may only cast one vote, either as League President or as a team representative.
