Length of Term

For how long do the new officers serve before they must seek re-election?

The length of term for each office is set in the Sub-Chapter constitution. Generally the terms are one year for all officers except Trustees. The Trustees serve three-year terms, with one term expiring each year. Sub-Chapters may make different provisions, by amendments to their Sub-Chapter constitutions, subject to the approval of the International President. The absolute maximum term of office is three years. Any amendment which increases the length of the term would, of course, not extend the terms of the incumbents but would take effect with the following election.
