Newly elected directors will be installed at the end of the convention in San Diego, Oct. 15-20, 2000. 167, and ask for a board application. Applications must be received by March 22, 2000. To ensure the board reflects the geographic distribution of the voting membership, at least five directors must come from each of six regions in which approximately equal numbers of voting TROA members reside. Directors must be retired officers and regular or life members of the national association.
Directors hold office for six years, unless removed or otherwise disqualified.
Each director represents the total association and not a regional or service constituency. The business management and affairs of the association shall be under the direction and control of the board. It has authority to approve contracts, incur liabilities, expend funds, and attend to other association matters, subject to the right of the voting membership to direct and control the board in the exercise of these powers. There are no limitations on the percentages of regular and Reserve officers or male and female officers who may serve as directors at any one time. Efforts are made to obtain the best-qualified officers from within the membership of the association.
