Each pool member shall be entitled to cast one vote in electing a member to the board and shall be permitted to cast such vote in person or by proxy.
(4) In order to achieve consistent participation and representation, each elected member of the pool shall designate a person to serve on the board as its representative, with the ability to reappoint a person in the case of a permanent vacancy, with the provision for one identified alternate person.
C.Succession. The appointed members of the board of directors shall serve until their successors have been duly appointed to serve.
