I thought the idea is that the Chair and Vice Chair are elected annually but can only serve for 2 consecutive years any the same position. I did not think that the Chair and Vice Chair could opt for a second term and thereby eliminate the need for an election. If my understanding is incorrect, I am happy to revise.
