As soon as possible after the initial appointments have been made, the commission shall organize by electing one of its members as chairman, one as vice chairman, and one as secretary. The terms of the appointees expire on the first of July of the appropriate year. The area commission shall meet upon the call of the chairman or a majority of its members.
