NOMINATING
COMMITTEE
In addition to the Commander, there are eight required
Officers for Squadrons and Districts (Executive
Officer, Training Officer, Administrative Officer,
Secretary, Treasurer, PRO, Membership Officer and
MAREP Officer). In addition, there are as many other
elected Officers, as the Executive Committee at each
level feels necessary. (Note: If the number of elected
Officers is large, reaching a quorum at meetings may
be difficult.)
The appointed Officers are appointed by, and may be
discharged by the Commander. The Nominating
Committee is not involved with these appointments.
