It is the function of the President to preside, as chairperson, at meetings
of the Board of Directors and to call meetings of the general membership.
The president is an ex-officio member of all committees without the right
to vote, except to break a tie. The President may establish non-Standing
committees to carry out express duties for the welfare of the congregation.

For the first time in B'nai Tikvah's history, we have co-presidents.
