Initial policy on TAC Chair/Vice Chair
John Mertic presented the initial policy proposal.
Sean Grady asked the question, “Does the Vice Chair automatically become the TAC chair?” Mertic confirmed that the vice chair would automatically become the TAC chair. Mertic added that the TAC may want to put in language to allow for flexibility.
Mertic added the following to the policy:
If a TAC Chairperson or Vice Chairperson needs to step down for any reason, they must provide notice to the TAC with a one-month notice to the TAC. If the Chairperson would step down, the Vice Chairperson would assume those responsibilities. If the Vice Chairperson steps down or the Vice Chairperson’s role is vacated due to the Chairperson stepping down, the TAC would elect a new Vice Chairperson.
Joe Bostian motioned to accept the proposal. Sean Grady seconded, and all were in favor.
RESOLVED - That the Initial policy on TAC Chair/Vice Chair is hereby accepted.
