When a convention bureau has been established and the members of the board have been appointed and qualified as set forth herein, they shall, not more than thirty (30) days thereafter, hold an organizational meeting after giving not less than ten (10) days' notice of the time and place of such meeting by registered mail, postage prepaid, directed to each appointed member of such board at his regular address given to the Secretary of State immediately upon his qualification. Such notice shall be given by the appointing authority for the original organization of such convention bureau. Any county or municipality thereafter desiring to participate shall make appointments, and the members shall qualify in the same manner prescribed for the original board members. Upon being duly qualified, such new appointees, shall be given notice by the board as to the time, date and place of the next succeeding meeting, including a copy of any bylaws, rules or regulations and a summary of the actions taken by the board. At any meeting a quorum shall consist of a majority of the board. The board shall elect a president and secretary, both of whom shall be members of said board, and shall adopt such rules and regulations as may govern the time and place for holding subsequent meetings, regular and special, and other rules and regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 17-3-21 through 17-3-31. The election of the president and secretary shall be made annually thereafter.
