According to Title 3, Chapter 2, Section 3-1-4 of the Erie Municipal Code, each board, commission, and committee shall elect a Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary from among its full membership. Each officer serves a one-year term.
Members may either self-nominate or nominate another member for an open officer position. Voting will occur separately for each position, and members will vote on the nominees for that specific office before moving to the next position.
Members will elect a Chair first, Vice Chair second, and Secretary third. Officer duties include, but are not limited to:
Chair
The Chair leads board meetings, helps guide discussions, and works with the staff liaison to develop meeting agendas and priorities. The Chair also serves as the primary spokesperson for the board when needed.
Vice Chair
The Vice Chair supports the Chair and assumes the Chair’s responsibilities when the Chair is absent or unable to serve. The Vice Chair may also assist with meeting facilitation and board coordination efforts.
Secretary
The Secretary assists with maintaining organization and continuity of board business, including helping ensure motions and key discussion items are clearly captured in the meeting minutes.
