The Officers of the Corporation may, by resolution or affirmative notice adopted by a simple majority of the Officers then in office, create one or more committees, including an Executive Committee, to serve at the discretion of the Officers of the Corporation. The purpose for any committee is to perform the necessary work needed done by the Los Angeles Chapter or the CEC.  All committees are formed by these Bylaws, the Chapter President, or the CEC to investigate, consider, report, or act on any matter necessary for the good and welfare of the Chapter. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Officers, shall have all the authority of the Officers, except that no committee, regardless of Officer’s resolution, may:

• Fill vacancies on the Advisory Board or in any committee, which has the authority of the Officers;
• Create compensation for any person or entity without a written authorization derived from a majority vote of the Officers of the Corporation;
• Amend or repeal Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws.
• Amend or repeal any resolution of the Officers of the Corporation, which by its express terms are not so amendable or repeal able;
• Appoint any other committees except for directly related sub-committees of current standing committees of the corporation;
• Approve any transaction (1) between the Corporation and one or more of its Officers or, (2) between the Corporation or any person in which one or more of its Officers have a material financial interest, or;
• Expend corporate funds to support a nominee for the Officer after more persons have been nominated than can be elected.
