In my opinion someone should draft a constitution and bylaws that this chapter should abide by. In these documents it will lay out the guidelines for holding elections, membership meetings, executive meetings, terms of elected officials and all that good stuff.

Also in my opinon one year is not enough time to get used to any elected position normally three years is a good term. with a one year term all you do is invite a new person who has no clue how to handle his position. It's like the guy you work with that has been there for 30 years and only has one year experience and never learned anything more. Plus you can always have in the bylaws a provision for removing an elected official.
