Article Four, Delegates, Section 8: Terms of Office; Term Limits

[Original]

A Delegate's term of office, shall be three (3) years, beginning in December. A Delegate may serve a maximum of two consecutive 3-year terms, and in no event more than six (6) consecutive years. A Delegate shall not be eligible for further service as a Delegate until one year has elapsed after the termination of the Delegate's second consecutive three-year term.

[Amended December 14, 2015]

A Delegate's term of office, shall be three (3) years, beginning in December. A Delegate may serve a maximum of two consecutive 3–year terms, and in no event more than six (6) consecutive cumulative years without a one year (12 consecutive months) break. If a Delegate serves as elected or alternate for an incomplete year, those month/s of service must be counted towards the six years cumulative limit. Only a one year (12 consecutive months) lapse as Delegate will trigger the reset of the 6 years cumulative limit.

A Delegate shall not be eligible for further service as a Delegate until one year has elapsed after the termination of the Delegate's second consecutive three–year term.

The term six years cumulative limit is also applicable regardless of which station or stations a Delegate has served as its Delegate. For example, if a Delegate serves six years on the Local Station Board at any station, that Delegate may not serve at another station where the Delegate may be a member, until one year has elapsed after the six years cumulative limit. Also, if any Delegate serves any portion of a term or the cumulative six years limit at one station that time of service carries over as cumulative toward service as a Delegate at another station.
