Section 6.5. Term.
Trustees shall take office immediately after the close of the General Assembly at or prior to which they are elected and, with the exception of the youth trustee at large, shall serve for terms of four years or until their successors are elected and qualified. The youth trustee at large shall serve for a term of two years or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Any partial term of more than two years shall be considered a full term for purposes of this section. No trustee may serve more than two successive full terms. However, a trustee may at any time become one of the elected officers of the Association and serve as long in that office as if such trustee had not previously been a trustee. No person who has served as elected officer for a full term shall thereafter be elected a trustee without an interim of four years.
Note
The 2011 General Assembly adopted changes to Sections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.8, 8.3, 8.7, 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.6, 9.11, 9.12, and 9.13 of the Bylaws and to Rule G-9.12.2 that will reduce the size of the UUA Board from 26 persons to 14 and change the process of election of trustees. Some of those changes become effective at the close of the 2012 General Assembly, others at the close of the 2013 General Assembly. Those changes for 2012 and 2013 are set out here (PDF).
