The election of the Zone Director (ZD) and the Deputy Zone Director (DZD) takes place on alternate years. The term for each of these positions is for two years.

3.0 - Elections at the MAAC AGM (the Executive Committee)
The MAAC Board of Directors (BoD) at large is comprised of the elected Zone Directors. The BoD elects an Executive Committee (EC) by a majority vote of the board of directors from among their numbers. The EC consists of a President, Vice-President, two board members and a Secretary/Treasurer. Officers need not be directors, or members other than the President or Vice-President. The Secretary/Treasurer is a staff member from the MAAC office.

The election of the MAAC President is for a two year term beginning in 2011. The election of the remainder of the EC positions is for one year.

The president is the chairman of the board of directors.

4.0 - Election of Committees
4.1 - Term

The one year term of the Chairman, Committee Members, and Committee Advisors runs from the end of a MAAC Annual General Meeting to the end of the next AGM.

4.2 - Committee structure

One chairman, a maximum, of two members per zone plus and an unrestricted number of advisors. The advisors do not have a vote on the committee. 4.3 - Selecting the Committee

In order for an individual to continue as a chairman, they must be nominated at their respective Zone Meeting each fall. There is no limit to the number of persons who can be nominated to a particular chairmanship. The MAAC BOD reviews the credentials of the nominees, their references and the input of the committee to decide on the best candidate. If not selected however, they cannot “ drop down" to a position on the committee.

A vote will be held at the zone annual meeting when more than two individuals are nominated as committee members. Those not voted into the two zone positions may be eligible to be an advisor, if approved by that committee as a whole. The position of advisor is not automatic.

There is one exception to the committee structure and selection. The Insurance Committee is an Advisory Group. All appointments to the group are board approved, usually on the recommendation from the chair of the group. The group must also include one member from the board of directors. The term on the group in unlimited.

4.4 - Committee Recommendations

It was standard practice to put the Committee’s recommendations into the body of the Chairman’s Annual Committee Report. This procedure is currently under review for the 2011 AZMs. The Chairman is to bring their committee recommendations in writing, to their respective Zone Meeting. The recommendations will be incorporated into the zone minutes. The thinking is that it may be preferable to circulate recommendations to all committees to also solicit their input. i.e. a safety committee recommendation may negatively impact on the free flight group.

The MAAC Chair of Chairmen will immediately forward the recommendations to the Board of Directors once the review is done.
