Election of the Executive Committee. 1. The exporting and importing members of the Executive Committee shall be elected in the Council by the exporting and importing members respectively. The election within each category shall be held in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of this article.
Election of the Executive Committee. Elections to replace the Executive Committee members whose terms are expiring, or if a position becomes vacant, will be conducted electronically. Elections shall be presided over by the Consortium Manager. Nominations for the Executive Committee members will be solicited by the Consortium Manager sixty (60) days prior to each election cycle, citing incumbent Executive Committee members whose terms are expiring and any special organizational requirements for nominees. Incumbent Executive Committee members may be nominated and re-elected to successive terms, provided the organizational status of the organization they represent remains unchanged. Any member may nominate an individual to the Executive Committee. All nominees must be employed by a “Member in Good Standing” organization as defined in the Consortium Membership Agreement. The Executive Committee will review all nominee applications to determine if they meet nomination requirements. If during their term, an Executive Committee member is no longer willing or able to serve on the Executive Committee, or if an Executive Committee member’s organization withdraws from the Consortium the vacated position will remain unfilled until the next general election process. Upon completion of the election process, the new Executive Committee member will serve for the remainder of the term for the vacancy for which they are filling.
