Tampa Bay Inn of Court Executive Committee 

The Executive Committee of the Tampa Bay Inn of Court consists of the following officers: President, President-Elect, Counselor, Treasurer, Secretary, Parliamentarian, and Executive Director. The officers are selected from among the Masters by a vote of a majority of the Masters present at a meeting noticed for that purpose. However, the Executive Director serves at the pleasure of the President and Executive Committee.

The annual election of officers occurs at the mid-year Masters' meeting. Officers take office on July 1 of each year. Former counselors remain as non-voting members of the Executive Committee.
