EDs Food for Thought:
As it gets closer to the end of our chili year and our Great Pepper's Meeting, some of you will be considering running for the Board of Directors. Do you know how the length of a Director's term is determined. IAW our Bylaws "The Board of Directors consists of six three-year term Directors, four two-year term Directors, and the Executive Director who serves a two-year term. At the annual meeting of the Great Peppers, two Directors will be elected to serve three-year terms, and two Directors will be elected to serve two-year terms. Terms will be determined by the number of votes received by each candidate. The two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes will hold three-year terms and the two candidates receiving the next greatest number of votes will hold two-year terms. Every other year the Executive Director will be elected to serve for two years."
