§200304 Governing Body

Summary

Names the national encampment as the corporation’s highest governing body. It includes officers and elected representatives from the States and local units, as set in the constitution and bylaws. The governing setup must represent the membership and cannot let control rest with a few people or a self-perpetuating small group. Meetings may be held in the District of Columbia or any State, territory, or possession of the United States. Between encampments, a council of administration runs the corporation and handles overall policy and programs. The council must have at least seven members chosen under the constitution and bylaws. Officers include a commander in chief, senior and junior vice commanders in chief, a secretary, a treasurer, and any other officers the constitution and bylaws provide. One person may serve as both secretary and treasurer, and officer selection, terms, and duties follow the constitution and bylaws.
