==Other Elected Officers==
The ''[[Magister Rosae ]]'' is elected each year by the [[Noble Company of the Rose]] (and confirmed by the Board). Membership in good standing in both the Society and the Noble Company is required.
==[[Executive Director]]==
A proposal has been discussed to create the office of Executive Director. This officer would be elected by the [[Board]] and serve at their pleasure. It could be a paid position. When the office is filled, the Executive Director would have all powers of the Board except his own hiring, compensation, and amending the [[By-Laws]].
There are two motivations for creating this office.
<ol>
<li>This was the de facto structure of the Society under our [[Founder]], and many feel that concentrating authority in a single individual is the best approach for an organization like ours.</li>
<li>The Society has of late had trouble finding enough members to serve on the Board, and enough [[Directors]] to serve as Officers. Thus one proposal is to automatically create the office of Executive Director whenever the Board cannot muster enough members to obtain a quorum or enough volunteers to serve as the four primary Officers.</li>
</ol>
The drawback to this option are fairly obvious: the wrong person in office could lead to the failure of the Society. There is also the challenge of finding (and adequately compensating) a qualified individual.
It is not clear if this is a worthy experiment, and it has not yet been formally proposed to the Board or membership. It would require a vote of the Membership to adopt.
