It is NOT required that a chairperson have a regularly scheduled meeting on the calendar. A chairperson may open the meeting room at any time for a meeting (not just to chat), by posting a message in the VONR WhatsApp that the meeting room is open. An admin may also be a substitute chair for other admins.
If a chairperson begins using nicotine again, she or he must wait 30 days after becoming nicotine-free to begin chairing again.
