funds and properties; is the final authority for admission to and removal from
membership; establishes and administrates long-range planning; interprets the
By-Laws; and manages personnel issues of the organization. Board meetings are held the 1st Monday of
every month and are open to all members unless the President specifically
closes the meeting.
