Length of term for all elected DAMA Central Virginia Chapter offices shall be
one year. All local chapter officers are elected as individuals. To be eligible
for local chapter office, an individual must be an individual member of the
local chapter or an employee of a corporate member of the local chapter.
In the event that a current office-holder becomes unable or ineligible to
complete the term of his or her office, a 90-day grace period shall be
established during which time the office-holder shall re-establish his or her
ability/eligibility to complete the term of office or shall be required to
resign the local chapter office.
Upon the resignation of any local chapter officer, a special election shall be
conducted at the next following meeting of the local chapter, said election
conducted by the vice president administration of the local chapter. Should it
be that the vice president administration position is the one that is vacated,
the president of the local chapter shall conduct said election. Should a
special election be required, the term of office for the incoming office-holder
now filling the vacated position shall coincide with the already-established
term of office for that position. Individuals elected through special election
shall assume office immediately following said special election.

of the year, with the term of office running from the next January through

there will not be a Past President. Instead, there will be two Members at
Large. After the first year, there will only be one Member at Large.
