Title 20 › Chapter CHAPTER 3— - SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERIES › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER I— - CHARTER PROVISIONS › § 44
The Board of Regents must meet in Washington, D.C., pick one member as chancellor to lead meetings, and appoint a Secretary who also acts as the board’s secretary. They must choose three members for an executive committee and set regular meeting times. If any three regents ask, the Secretary must call a special meeting and mail notice to each member. Eight members make a quorum. Regents do not get paid for serving, but they are reimbursed for necessary travel and actual meeting expenses; the executive committee checks those expenses and the Secretary records them.
