our board

and boards of the golden past

Every officer for the Massachusetts Senior Classical League is elected to a one year term starting on the last day of the annual convention. Any member in good standing with the organization is eligible to run for a term so long as they or a proxy represent them at the election meeting. If a vacancy opens up in the officer pool due to sickness or other reason preventing the officer from fulfilling their duties, the person must inform the president of their inability to finish out their term. The president at the next meeting shall convene a forum among the officers about who should take over for the empty position and a vote will be cast with the person receiving the majority of votes being declared the winner. Below is a list of current officers as well as the past ones that we know about.
