Below is Section 7 of the <br />current resolution that defines the structure of the EVC, which pertains to committee <br />officers: <br /> <br />Committee officers shall be selected and serve as follows: <br /> <br />a. The Committee by majority vote shall elect for a term of one year a <br />chairperson and vice chairperson from among its members. Officers shall <br />be elected at the last meeting of each calendar year and assume office at <br />the first meeting of the next calendar year. <br /> <br />b. The chairperson shall be responsible for the conduct of the meetings, <br />working with staff for the preparation of agenda and other duties normally <br />associated with a chairperson. <br /> <br />c. The vice chairperson shall perform those duties assigned by the <br />chairperson and act for the chairperson in the latter’s absence. <br /> <br />d. No member of the Committee shall serve more than two successive full <br />terms as chairperson. <br /> <br />Ken Benhamou has expressed interest in serving as the Chair for 2026. At the time of <br />publication, no EVC member expressed interest in serving as Vice Chair in 2026. It is <br />the EVC’s usual practice to ask for and accept nominations during the discussion of this <br />item at the meeting.
