Unless otherwise required, on or about December 1 of the first year of the term, the most recent Past-President on the Board of Directors will query all current Board members to tabulate a “Vote of Confidence” for each member of the Executive Committee. The Officers will continue for the second year of their term unless 2/3 of the Board, not including the Officer being considered, vote to impeach any Officer.

In the event of an impeachment of the President, the most recent Past-President on the Board of Directors will assume the remainder of the term until a replacement is elected. In the event of the impeachment of an Officer, a replacement will be appointed by the President, unless the President is also impeached, in which case an appointment will be made by consensus of the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors

At the time of the annual meeting the business of the Society will be conducted by the Board of Directors. The Board will be composed of 10 members, elected from among the membership who will serve five-year terms (calendar year).  The Board of Directors will include Past-Presidents and the incumbent Officers of the Society.  Past-Presidents will be members of the Board for a maximum of six years following completion of their term of office. Past-Presidents will serve two years on the Executive Committee (while also as a Board Member), and four additional years on the Board, for a total of six years. As a result, the previous two Past-Presidents will remain members of the Board and will be replaced sequentially with the election of a new President. The Board shall conduct business during the period between annual meetings only upon call by the Executive Committee.

Section 1. At the time of the annual meeting the business of the Society will be conducted by the Board of Directors.

Section 2. The Board will be composed of 10 members, elected from among the membership who will serve five-year terms.  The Board of Directors will include Past-Presidents and the incumbent Officers of the Society.  Past-Presidents will be members of the Board for a maximum of six years following completion of their term of office. Past-Presidents will serve two years on the Executive Committee (while also as a Board Member), and four additional years on the Board, for a total of six years. As a result, the previous two Past-Presidents will remain members of the Board and will be replaced sequentially with the election of a new President.

Section 3. Vacancies in the elected membership of the Board shall be filled each year from among members in good standing. All nominations shall be accompanied by a statement of willingness to serve from the nominee. Eligible members shall be given the opportunity to vote for a maximum of two candidates unless there is an additional vacancy(ies) as a result of a Director being elected to the Executive Committee or as a result of voluntary retirement from active service to the elected Board. In the latter cases, the two candidates receiving the most votes will serve five-year terms, while the candidate(s) receiving the next most votes will complete the term(s) of the advancing Officer or retiring Director. If multiple additional vacancies exist, the positions will be filled in the order of greatest length of time remaining in the term. The term(s) of office of all elected Directors shall commence on 1 January following the annual meeting at which they were elected. The Director(s) elected to complete the term(s) of retiring Director(s) may begin their term of office upon election if the retiring Director(s) is not serving for the remainder of the calendar year.

Section 4. Directors must attend at least four of the annual meetings during their five- year term on the Board. If a Director misses two annual meetings, they will be removed from the Board and a replacement will be appointed by the President for the remainder of the term.

Section 5. Directors must maintain their memberships such that they remain members in good standing during their entire term. Failure to maintain membership in good standing may result in removal from the Board and a replacement appointed by the President for the remainder of the term.

Section 6. Directors may not be re-elected or appointed to the Board immediately upon completing their term in office but must wait for a period of two years prior to serving an additional five-year commitment.

Endowed Funds can be established for the purpose of providing grants or awards to members in good standing of the Society, or other such purposes as may be deemed consistent with the objectives of the society as delineated in Article II of the Constitution. Original documents that will constitute a Letter of Agreement between the endowing party(ies) and the Society must be written in accordance with the Constitution and By-Laws and must be approved by the Board of Directors. The Letter of Agreement must describe specific details including, but not limited to, methods for securing the principal, objectives of the fund and criteria for eligibility to receive a grant or award, mechanisms for generating a perpetual grant or award while allowing the principal to be maintained or continue to grow, acknowledgment that, insofar as is practical under the establishing documents, the Society Treasurer will administer the fund, unless the nature of the fund requires external management of the Fund principal and, if appropriate, identification of a committee to decide the recipient of the grant or award. The Letter of Agreement, bearing the signatures of the President and Treasurer as well as a representative of the endowing party(ies), will establish the permanent location where original documents are to reside, with copies of the Letter of Agreement provided to the President and Treasurer for their files. The President shall appoint, as deemed necessary by the Executive Committee, a committee and committee chairperson to oversee the management and investment of the funds for each committee so established. If requested in the Letter of Agreement, the endowing party(ies) may have representation on this committee. Unless otherwise stated in the Letter of Agreement, the principal in any endowed funds will be treated as Society assets in case the Society is dissolved and will be transferred as described in Article VIII, Section 2 of the Constitution.

Outreach and Education Committee

The Outreach and Education Committee (O&E Committee) will consist of 6 elected members that serve 3-year terms with 2 seats up for election each year. The Chairperson will be appointed annually by the President from the elected committee members and the Webmaster/Editor will be chosen by the O&E Committee members from those elected to the committee. O&E Committee membership should have experience or interest in outreach efforts or educational practices including curriculum development, mentorship, and field/lab course instruction. Committee membership should include individuals representing student and educator perspectives to identify educational and outreach resources of interest to both groups. O&E Committee members should be familiar with the basics of website and social media account maintenance to assist the designated Webmaster/Editor as needed. AES members with these interests, skills, or experience are encouraged to contact O&E Committee members to explore outreach projects or future committee membership.

Duties of the O&E Committee include overseeing and maintaining official AES social media accounts and website administered via the AES Editor/Webmaster. The committee will curate and share educational resources useful in the instruction of chondrichthyan biology and make these available to society members in the form of email, website updates, and/or social media posts. These may include but are not limited to online courses and educational multimedia programs, instructional tools for the lab or classroom, and online conferences or workshops, and may be developed in collaboration with other standing committees. The O&E Committee will also work with other standing committees to craft public statements on behalf of the society as needed and, when approved by the O&E Committee, forward them to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors for approval. This committee will oversee AES’s role in educational partnerships and other AES approved projects/programs related to mentoring or outreach. The O&E Committee will assist members in identifying funding for outreach and educational initiatives to be applied for by individual members. When the AES is a named partner sharing administrative responsibility in such initiatives, the O&E Committee will ensure that a proposal and budget is sent to the Board of Directors for approval prior to funding request submission and that any funding awarded is properly reported to the society. When called on by the society, the O&E Committee will make arrangements for online meetings or symposia where members can share research presentations. The O&E Committee will ensure that AES-related communications and outreach materials are consistent with the AES Codes of Conduct and Ethics, and are as representative as possible of the diversity of researchers and research topics in the field of elasmobranch research.
