Sec. 979.31  Alternate member.

    An alternate member of the committee shall act in the place and 
stead of the member for whom he is an alternate, during such member's 
absence or when designated to do so by such member. In the event both a 
member of the committee and his alternate are unable to attend a 
committee meeting, the member or his alternate or the committee, in that 
order, may designate another alternate from the same district and the 
same group (handler or grower) to serve in such member's stead. In the 
event of the death, removal, resignation, or disqualification of a 
member, his alternate shall act for him until a successor of such member 
is selected and has qualified. The committee may request the attendance 
of alternates at any or all meetings, notwithstanding the expected or 
actual presence of the respective members.
