Hey cletrac1,
The reason you can&#039;t vote on an editor is given in the bylaws, and is pretty much standard practice. You will find it under &#039;Board of Directors&#039;, under the heading of &#039;General Powers&#039;. If you could vote for a contract, it would open the door for any group of members deciding to award a contract for anyone they pleased. Since the Board of Directors are charged with overseeing the assets of the corporation, it would be appropriate for them to reserve the exclusive right to award contracts. If &#039;Editor&#039; was an elected position, there could be no monetary compensation, I doubt many would be interested in filling the position.
