a list of those members who have indicated a desire to serve. In the event of a vacancy of a principal member
of the Board, the alternate Director shall serve as the Director. A new alternate Director shall then be selected
by the Board in accordance with the procedures stated in paragraph 6.b. or 6.c. above, or if there is no one
from the Section involved on the list of volunteers by soliciting from the membership.

If there are more volunteers from the Section involved than there are vacancies, those who have been the
