“The executive committee is composed of the chair, vice chair, past chair, secretary/treasurer, the chairs of standing committees and any other members appointed by the chair. The board chair serves as chair of the executive committee. Between board meetings, the executive committee has all power and authority of the board of directors except that it does not have the authority (a) to remove any officer or board member, to create any office, or to fill any vacancy in any office; (b) to approve the annual budget, or (c) to employ or discharge the ceo. A majority (at least 51%) of the members of the executive committee then serving constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any executive committee meeting, and the executive committee may transact business through a majority of its members sitting in a quorum. The executive committee must report its actions to the board of directors at the next board meeting unless any action taken by the executive committee is of such a sensitive nature that immediate reporting of the action at the next succeeding board meeting would not be appropriate in the sole discretion of the executive committee, in which event the executive committee should report any such sensitive action to the board at the earliest, most appropriate opportunity.”
