Term of office

It is good practice to refresh the officer posts regularly, but the Regional Charter does not specify a term, recognising that some regions may struggle to get members to put themselves forward for the roles. Taking into account the size and level of activity in your region, we suggest you make a judgement about the appropriate term of office, ideally between two and five years.
