Section 1.

The branch manager shall serve as ex-officio member of the executive board.

Section 2. The executive board shall have the authority to appoint committees consistent with the purposes of this organization.

Section 3. A simple majority of the executive board shall constitute a quorum.

Section 4. Meetings of the board shall be held quarterly. Special meetings may be called by the president.

Delete library director and board member as officers. The State Library recommends against having trustees or library administrators serving on Friends boards due to the need to maintain a line of separation between library governance and volunteer supporters. The roles can bleed over and be perceived as a conflict of interest, especially where budget matters are concerned.

It is fine for a library staff member, such as the branch manager, to serve ex officio. This provides a liaison between the groups and is always recommended.
