The officers shall be elected on the second Tuesday of January of
each year, after initial election of officers, at a public voting
meeting to be held on such date.
Each organization which is a member of the SFAA shall nominate two
voting delegates to attend this public voting meeting. Each delegate
shall be given the right to vote for up to five different individuals
to fill the vacant SFAA Officer positions.
The public voting meeting shall be opened by the current President
of the SFAA who shall accept nominations and seconds of such nominations
from the voting delegates. Any individual receiving a nomination and
a second shall be deemed to be eligible to receive votes in the election.
After receiving all nominations, the President shall request a motion
to close nominations. Upon passage of such nominations, that President
shall call for a vote. Each voting delegate shall have the right to
vote for up to five individuals.
The five individuals receiving the most votes shall be deemed to
have been elected to the Executive Board. Once these individuals have
been elected, these five individuals shall elect, from amongst themselves,
individuals to fill the various officer positions.
In the event of a vacancy in any officer position which occurs during
the term of an officer, the remaining officers shall appoint, by a
majority vote, an individual to fill such vacancy. In the event that
the remaining officers are unable to achieve such a majority vote,
the position shall remain vacant until the next election; provided,
however, that the First Vice President shall be charged with administering
the duties of the vacant position until such time as the vacancy is
filled.
