Section 750-X-1-.02 - Election Of Officers, Terms Of Office, And Duties

(1) Board members serve for terms of five years and shall not serve more than two consecutive terms of office. The terms of psychologist members are staggered so that only one new member is appointed by the Governor each year to fill the expiring term. Board members will continue to serve until a successor has been appointed and duly qualified. Two nominees to the Board for each vacant psychologist or psychological technician position are submitted by the Alabama Psychological Association's executive council or its successor organization to the Governor the year prior to the expected vacancy. Although nominations are made at the annual meeting of the Alabama Psychological Association or its successor organization, nominees need not be members of the association. The public member will be appointed by the Governor.

(2) Newly appointed Board members shall take the constitutional oath of office and shall file same in the Governor's office prior to attending their first Board meeting. This oath shall be on file with the Secretary of State of Alabama.

(3) Officers of the Board are the chairperson and the vice chairperson. Those to serve for the upcoming year are elected (or re-elected) at the last meeting in each calendar year.

(4) Minutes are written by the administrative assistant in draft form, then edited by the chairperson. They may be reviewed by a second Board member. A final copy is then prepared for typing and distribution for approval at the next Board meeting.

(5) Four members of the Board shall constitute a quorum. However, the chair will, if possible, reschedule a meeting if fewer than five members are expected to be present.

(6) Whenever possible at least two Board members will review applications for licensure prior to Board meetings to determine qualifications. However, the Board as a whole must review and act upon each application.

(7) The official spokesperson for the Board is the chair or his or her designee.
