ANNUAL BOARD ELECTIONS
Intergroup’s Annual Election Meeting is on the 4th Thursday of every September. IG Reps in attendance at this meeting elect four new Board members to serve 3-year terms; this then replaces the 4 rotating off the board. Elections are conducted according to the Third Legacy procedure as outlined in, “The AA Service Manual.” At least 26 Representatives (a quorum) must be present in order to conduct the election. A quorum is also needed to make any changes to the Intergroup Bylaws. Copies of the Greater Minneapolis Intergroup Bylaws are available during office hours or at the Reps meeting. According to our Bylaws there are 12 elected Board Members. No more than 2 members can be from the same Home Group. All Board Members must have a minimum of 5 years sobriety. The 12-member elected Board has the fiduciary responsibility for the financial integrity of maintaining vital services during their term of office. The following officers are elected at the IG Board meeting the Tuesday prior to the Annual Election meeting: Chairperson, co- Chairperson, Treasurer, and Secretary. Each serves a one-year term, October 1st to September 30th, which is the Fiscal Year of Greater Minneapolis Intergroup.Board Resume Blank Form
