ARTICLE IV: MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
|
| 1.
|
Subject to the powers of the members as provided by these
Bylaws, the management of the affairs and activities of the Section shall be in
the hands of a Management Committee, elected by members of the Section for
terms of one year.
|
| 2.
|
Only the Management Committee or those specifically
authorized by it shall act in the name of the Section. The Committee shall have
the authority to make rules and regulations for carrying out the procedures
established by these Bylaws. If any dispute arises concerning any act of the
Section Management Committee, the Chapter Executive Committee shall have the
power to determine the procedures to be followed. Actions of the Section must
be consistent with the purposes of the Club and the policies and directives of
the Chapter and the Board of Directors.
|
| 3. |
The Chairman shall preside at meetings of the Section and
of the Management Committee; shall enforce the Bylaws; shall call meetings of
the Management Committee as required; shall appoint committees with the consent
of the Management Committee to plan and carry on the work of the
Section.

climbs; shall be chairman of the Mountaineering Committee; SHALL BE THE OUTINGS
AND SAFETY CHAIRPERSON; SHALL SOLICIT AND COLLECT OUTING PROPOSALS FROM LEADERS
FOR APPROVAL FOR SUBMISSION TO THE CHAPTER SCHEDULE. (Rationale: we need to
designate a safety chair and specify the role of the Vice-Chair in approving
outings and submitting them to the Schedule; we already do these things and
they should be in the bylaws.)

Secretary. The Secretary shall keep an accurate record of
the meetings of the Section and of the Management Committee; shall have custody
of the records of the Section; shall attend to the correspondence under the
direction of the Chairman; shall keep a membership list of those qualified to
