The Board of Directors, chaired by the Bailli, is the administrative
and policy making team for the Bailliage. It sees that overall planning
and decision making is carried out and represents the Chaîne in the
community.
The following officers, together with the Bailli, shall constitute the
Board of Directors of the Bailliage: Vice-Chancelier-Argentier,
Vice Conseiller Gastronomique, Vice Conseiller Culinaire, Vice Chargé(e) de Presse, Vice Chargé(e) de Missions, and Vice Echanson.
The Bailli may name additional members to the Board, but they retain their
present rank and ribbon (Chevalier, Dame, Officier, etc.). Appointed
officers serve at the pleasure of the Bailli. Their term of office is thus
variable but must come to an end simultaneous with that of the Bailli.
By-Laws provide a chain of command and outline the general duties of the
officers. However, to make the best use of the time and talents of the
officers, assignments should be flexible.
Board Meetings must be held as prescribed by the By-Laws (See
Section 8.4)
but may be held as often as needed. Good practices dictate that Board
Meetings begin and end on time (written reports and proposals are
important time-savers), require a quorum (specified in the By-Laws) and be
run according to parliamentary procedure (to save time and avoid
confusion).
Boards may be structured in various ways to achieve specific goals. Most
local Chaîne Boards continue to assign their directors specific
responsibilities, but some are doing away with such assignments and have
established committees organized with specific short term priorities
or committees organized around projects and concerns of an on-going nature.
Others are using a combination of individual assignments and committees.
