The first board members at CEN were appointed by the general assembly. The board holds annual general meeting to elect members. But if a post falls vacant e.g upon death, resignation, or sickness, members of the board appoint any member to fill vacant position until the general meetings, from which then they will elect a new person to fill the post.
