Terms of office begin September 1. In the event the Vice President cannot serve or complete the term, the President will appoint a current Board member to fill out the partial term as well as the following term. If neither can serve, the Board will make a temporary appointment to serve until the next annual election. If the Past President is unable to serve out the full year, the vacant position will remain unfilled. A Board of twelve members representing various types of academic libraries and geographic areas of Oregon will conduct the business of the Chapter.
Board members are eligible to succeed themselves.
The president will appoint a member of the Board to serve a one-year term as Recorder. In January, the President will appoint two people from the Board to serve as the Nominating Committee. An invitation to express willingness to serve will be published in an appropriate OLA publication. The Nominating Committee will present a slate of two candidates for each office. Upon acceptance of the slate by the Board and no later than May 1, the ballots will be mailed to members.
