LEADERSHIP

Organizational Chart

Officers    Regional Vice Chairs     Board Appointees    Staff    Board Members
 

Members in each county area elect three (3) delegates to the Board to represent their area.  The Regional Vice Chairs are elected by the Delegates in the Region.  The Officers are nominated and elected by the Board of Directors.  The Chairman of the Board appoints up to 4 members, with the approval of the Board, to serve on the Executive Committee.  

Each of the 22 member counties has an equal vote on the board and is entitled to up to three directors for a two-year term each. Therefore, Action 22’s Board has up to 66 members.

The bylaws do not limit the terms a board member may serve.  Members at each county caucus meeting should try to preserve the continuity of leadership as a balance against recruiting new people with fresh ideas.

Board members should:

  • Represent the majority opinion of their communities. The Board member should be an active participant in the community.
     

  • Communicate with the Region’s directors to find common issues and concerns in the region.
     

  • Plan for the Future.  The Board is responsible for developing a long range plan and monitoring and evaluating that plan.  This includes fiduciary responsibility for making sure the organization has sufficient funds to operate.
     

  • Be an advocate for the organization. Communicate with members in the county; look for ways to promote the organization.
     

  • Serve as a goodwill ambassador for the organization, respecting and supporting the majority decisions of the Board.
     

  • Attend three Board meetings per year and regional, committee or special meetings as necessary.
