The Officer Slate
At the annual May Quarterly meeting, a slate is presented for the following year’s officers. At the September Quarterly meeting, the slate is either accepted or challenged. Therefore any slated officers are not final. Any challenges to the slate must be accompanied by an official petition form with approval from the staff and lodge adviser. The slate is also published in The Wolf’s Tale before the May quarterly meeting. The elected officers’ (whether slated or not) term begins at the conclusion of the Section Conclave of the year they are elected.
