The Executive Committee of the Foundation is composed of a minimum of how many members, including which positions?

• A. 3 members - Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer/Secretary
• B. 4 members - Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary
• C. 2 members - Chair and Treasurer
• D. 5 members - Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and Historian

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is lean but complete governance: the Executive Committee must have at least three members to provide leadership, continuity, and financial oversight. Those three roles are the Chair, who leads meetings; the Vice Chair, who supports and can step in when needed; and a Treasurer/Secretary who handles finances and keeps the minutes/records. The Treasurer and Secretary are combined here, which is why three members suffice. If you tried to have four, you’d be adding a separate Secretary or Treasurer beyond the minimum; two members would miss a key leadership or governance function, and including a Historian isn’t required for the minimum composition.
