It's that time of year again - elections for PTO Executive Board.

1. The 1st Vice President shall act as an aide to the President and perform the duties of the President in the absence or inability of that officer to serve. He/She will be responsible for all revenue-producing committees and will serve as the liaison between the Executive Board and the respective committee co-chairs. The 1st Vice President will be primary co-signer with the Treasurer on PTO checks.
