The elected officers of the Board are the Chair and Vice Chair. At their first regular meeting of the calendar year, the Board of Clallam County Commissioners shall select one of its number to preside at its meetings as Chair of the Board. In the event of a vacancy in the office of the Chair for any reason, including succession, the position shall be filled by the Vice Chair and the election of a replacement for the Vice Chair shall be held to serve the unexpired portion of the term. The Vice Chair will serve as Chair when the Chair is unable to serve.

The Chair shall sign all documents requiring the signature of the Board, and the Chair’s signature, shall be as legal and binding as if all members had affixed their names, provided the signature is authorized by the Board. In case the Chair is absent at any meeting of the Board, all documents requiring the signature of the Board shall be signed by the Vice Chair.
