(a) The state executive committee consists of two members from each state senatorial district or congressional district, as determined by party rule. One of each district's members must be a man and the other a woman.
(b) In addition to the members representing the senatorial or congressional districts, the committee has a chair and a vice chair, one of whom must be a man and the other a woman. Except as otherwise provided by party rule, the chair and vice chair are considered members of the committee.
(c) The chair, vice chair, and members representing the senatorial or congressional districts are elected at the party's biennial state convention. However, the chair, vice chair, and members may be elected for four-year terms at the state convention held in gubernatorial election years. Each holds office until a successor is elected and assumes office.
