Whom do the board elect?

Whom do the board elect?

• A. Their own members; chairman, vice chairman, treasurer and secretary
• B. External trustees
• C. Chapter delegates
• D. The management team

Answer: (A)

The board governs the organization and, as a self-governing group, chooses its own leadership from among its members. Electing internal officers—chairman, vice chairman, treasurer, and secretary—gives the board direct control over how meetings are run, how finances are managed, and how records are kept. This internal selection helps ensure continuity and accountability within the board. External trustees are outside individuals and aren’t chosen by the board to fill these internal leadership roles. Chapter delegates represent the broader chapters and don’t appoint the board’s officers. The management team refers to staff or executives who carry out day-to-day operations, not the board’s internal leadership.
