The Board of Directors voted to extend the appointment of James Miles as Executive Director for one year. Since Miles’ present appointment expires August 31, 1952, the new action therefore will assure continuity in the position of Executive Director until August 31, 1953* Status of Executive Committee Defined ^The great increase in NAEB activities resulting from the several grants made to the organization during the past year has required the setting up of an Executive Com¬ mittee made up of the four elected officers* This group has been meeting monthly since the Biloxi convention. In order to more clearly define the powers and duties of this committee the Board passed the following resolution: "Since the Board of Directors is empowered by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters' by-laws to direct its officers to do all things necessary to carry out Board policies; therefore, "Be it resolved by the Board of Directors, that, when the board is not in session, the Executive Committee - consisting of the President (chairman), Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer - shall have the management and control of the Association, and of its affairs, and for that purpose shall have and exercise all the powers necessary and proper for such object, except insofar as the Board may reserve such powers to itself. The Board may at its pleasure revoke any powers granted at any time to the Executive Committee. "The Board of Directors sets certain limitations on the powers of the Executive Committee: "Section 1. Said Executive Committee shall meet whenever the chairman, or three mem¬ bers thereof, shall find it necessary for the transaction of any business which is urgent and cannot be postponed to a regular meeting of the Board. "Section 2. Said Executive Committee shall possess all the powers of the Board when in session, provided that it shall not overrule, revise, or change the previous acts of the Board, or take from regular or special committees any business referred to them by the Board. The Executive Committee shall not have power to lease, sell or purchase real estate unless previously authorized by the Board in session or a majority of the members individually in writing. "Section 3* The Executive Committee shall make a record in writing of all its trans¬ actions and submit it to the Board at its next regular meeting, signed by all the members agreeing thereto. Such a record shall thereupon be incorporated in the Minutes of the Board as an integral part thereof. "Within these limitations, the actions of the Executive Committee are final."
