[Board] Dear President

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

My reading of the bylaws is that Vice Presidents are officers, appointed 
under Section 5.1:
"Subject to these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may also elect or 
appoint one or more additional officers or assistant officers as it may 
deem convenient or necessary. Except as provided in these Bylaws, the 
Board of Directors shall fix the powers and duties of all officers."

Whether additional and assistant officers are covered by the insurance 
policy depends on the policy wording. It might be useful to seek 
confirmation from the insurer.
