Presiding member and deputy presiding member
18 Presiding member and deputy presiding member
The directors must, at the first meeting of the board held after an annual general meeting of the Trust, select 1 of their number to be the presiding member of the board (and therefore of the Trust).
The directors may also select 1 of their number to be the deputy presiding member of the board (and therefore of the
Trust).
Subject to subsections (4) and (5), a person selected under subsection (1) or (2) will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Trust held after the member's selection (and is eligible for reappointment if they continue or are re‑elected as a member of the board).
A person selected under this section may be removed from office by resolution of the board.
The office of a person selected under this section becomes vacant before an annual general meeting of the Trust if the person holding the office—
dies; or
resigns by written notice to the board; or
ceases to be a member of the board or of the Trust;
or
is removed from office under subsection (4).
If a casual vacancy occurs in the office of the presiding member or deputy presiding member, the members (or remaining members) of the board may appoint another of their number to the vacant office (and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the
Trust).
