<li>When a Chairman leaves office, the Vice-Chairman will be automatically promoted to Chairman if he has served in the former capacity for at least one year. At other times, the President must appoint a new Chairman, which might be the Vice-Chairman, despite a short tenure.
<li>If you have trouble finding appropriate members for your Committee, contact Headquarters, as they keep a file of Member Interest Surveys interests that may suggest worthy candidates, the [[Webmaster]] maintains the "Help Wanted" list on the website, and the [[Augustæum Editor]] can place a want ad in ''[[Augustæum]]''.</li>
<li>While incidental expenses like postage and long distance will normally be covered by the [[Budget]], should your Committee need additional funding for any reason, you should work with [[Headquarters Staff]] and the [[Finance Committee]] (if active) to put your requests into each year's the [[Budget]].

A week's notice is suggested, as that will permit adequate notice to your members (including the ex-officio members). There is no charge for teleconferencing or videoconferencing other than individual's phone calls, and these can be reimbursed.</li>
