The Executive Board shall consist of the President, the First and Second Vice-Presidents, the Secretary-Treasurer, and the Immediate Past President (Article VI). The Executive Board shall manage the business and affairs of the Association, and shall exercise all of the powers of the Association except such as are by law or by Articles of Incorporation of the Association or by these by-laws conferred upon or reserved to the Board of Directors or assembled voting delegates.

The Executive Board may act in place of the Board of Directors between Board meetings on all matters, except those specifically reserved to the Board by these By-laws. Actions of the Executive Board shall be reported to the Board of Directors within 10 days of such action and shall be deemed ratified by the Board unless the Board shall, at its next meeting, expressly modify or set aside such action.

The Executive Board shall have the power to authorize expenditures within an approved budget, including expenditures to purchase and rent real and personal property as the Executive Board shall determine and may, in addition, hold special meetings on the call of the President on not less than 10 days written notice. Between meetings, teleconference meetings may be held to conduct official business. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Executive Board may be taken without a meeting, if all voting members of the Executive Board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Executive Board. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such Executive Board.
