Staggered Terms Clause Samples
A Staggered Terms clause establishes that members of a governing body, such as a board of directors, serve overlapping terms rather than all being elected or replaced at the same time. For example, in a board with nine members, three might be elected each year for three-year terms, ensuring that only a portion of the board changes in any given year. This approach promotes continuity and stability in governance by preventing a complete turnover of leadership at once, thereby preserving institutional knowledge and reducing the risk of abrupt shifts in direction.
