Note: The section below describes the activities of the Executive Committee as business is actually conducted. It has been cut from the actual BPS Constitution and modified accordingly. EC members take office on October 1 after their election, but they generally attend the August EC meeting before they take office so as to familiarize themselves with EC business. Thus, an EC member generally attends three August EC meetings (two as voting members) in conjunction with the Academy of Management and two winter meetings. Article V - EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Section 1. The policy-making body for the Division shall be the Executive Committee, composed of the Past Chair, Chair, Chair-Elect, Program Chair, Assistant Program Chair and twelve members of the Division elected for two year staggered terms. Normally six Division members are to be elected to the Executive Committee each year for two-year terms. The Chair is the presiding officer of Executive Committee Meetings. Section 2. All activities of the Division shall be under the review of the Executive Committee. Section 3: All non-officer members of the Executive Committee will be appointed to at least one subcommittee. Two permanent subcommittees are charged with (1) Assisting the Program Chair, and (2) Assisting the Assistant Program Chair. The Chair will also establish subcommittees responsible for New Initiatives and Recurring Problems regularly and as needed, subject to Executive Committee approval. In each year that the Division is responsible for conducting its 5-year survey, there will be a subcommittee appointed to assist the Chair with this task. The Chair is responsible for making all subcommittee appointments. All subcommittees must include at least one Executive Committee member in their second year and at least one Executive Committee member in their first year to provide for task continuity. Section 4. The Executive Committee must be convened at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management. The Executive Committee will also meet once during the winter to conduct Division business. Usually, the Chair will convene the Executive Committee, but a written call for an Executive Committee meeting supported by at least five Executive Committee members can convene such a meeting or cause a ballot to be issued for vote by the Division membership. Section 5. All issues will be deemed approved or disapproved by a simple majority of a quorum of the Executive Committee. A quorum is defined as seven (7) members for meeting and all members for ballots petitioned under the provisions of Section 4. Section 6. The Executive Committee shall serve as the Nominating Committee. When serving as a Nominations committee, it will be chaired by the Past Chair.
