Governance Committee – The chair shall be elected annually by the Governance Committee from among its own members. The Governance Committee shall be elected by the House of Delegates and shall be comprised of at least five (5) members, with a sufficient number of Athlete Representatives so as to constitute at least twenty percent (20%) of the voting membership of the Committee. No more than one half of the Committee shall be voting members of the COSI Board of Directors. If any member of the Governance Committee resigns or otherwise becomes unable to participate in its affairs, the General Chair, with the advice and consent of the Board of Directors, shall appoint a successor to serve until the next meeting of the House of Delegates. In no case shall the General Chair serve on the Governance Committee. Members shall serve two-year terms, staggered so that approximately one-half of the members are elected each year. After completion of three consecutive terms, members are not eligible to be elected or appointed to the Governance Committee until after a lapse of two years. A portion of any term served to fill a vacancy in the position shall not be considered in the computation of the successive term limitation.
