The By-Laws do not preclude Directors from serving as President or Vice President and, further, the Directors are elected by all POA membership and have full voting authority. Under the By-Laws, if a person serves solely as President or Vice President, he/she does not have voting powers; however, additionally serving as President or Vice President does not in any way negate a duly elected Director’s voting power in issues before the Board.
