ARTICLE VII: Agents and Employees

7.01: Agents and Employees
The Executive Committee may nominate agents and employees who shall have such authority and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the Board. The Board of Trustees shall approve all nominations. The agents or paid employees are required to abide by the policy and guidelines set up by the Board and follow the instructions of the Executive Committee for day to day operations. In no circumstances any agent or paid employees can assume or exercise the power and authority vested in the Board of Trustees or Executive Committee. The Board may remove any agent or employee at any time with or without any cause. Removal without cause shall be without prejudice to such person's contract rights, if any, and the appointment of such person shall not itself create contract rights. No agent or employee of ADAMS shall hold any elected office of ADAMS or serve on the Election Committee, on the Finance Review Committee, or on the Arbitration Panel.

7.02: Compensation of Agents and Employees
ADAMS may pay compensation in reasonable amounts to the agents and employees for services rendered, in the amounts to be fixed by the Board or, if the Board delegates power to any officer or officers, by such officer or officers. The Board may require agents or employees to provide security bonds for the faithful performance of their duties.
