TERMS OF OFFICE 

The term of office of a member of the Executive (excluding the President for whom Article 20.3 applies) is four (4) years, renewable twice. Terms served are calculated cumulatively, irrespective of any interruption of the service. If a Bureau Member is elected to a position within the Executive, any previous term served outside the Executive (i.e. as a Bureau Member) is not counted as part of the new term of office within the Executive. If an Executive Member (e.g. a Vice President) is elected to a new position within the Executive (e.g. as Treasurer), any previous term served within the Executive (e.g. as a Vice President) is counted as part of the individual’s overall term of office in the Executive.
