Vacancies on the Board of Trustees can occur as a result of removal, death, resignation, or legal incapacity of a member and are to be filled in a timely manner. Vacancies will be filled by majority vote of the total membership of the Board after suitable consideration and evaluation of appropriate candidates. The Board will establish procedures for identifying and considering candidates from the state or other jurisdiction identified with the vacant position for evaluation by the Board.

There are no provisions for what happens when a member resigns or leaves office? Is a special election held; does someone fill the vacancy; or does the vacancy continue until the next election?

Stern & Holman, 2002, p. 10

Such a provision was added.
