How to Maintain Committee History when Someone Changes Committee Roles

When a committee member changes from one role to another, it is important to not simply edit their committee record. Instead, you will need to end their role in that position and then make a second entry for the new role. This way, the history of their previous role is maintained and the past committee rosters will be correct.

For example, If Jane Doe is Vice Chair now, but will be Chair, you would do the following:
* Edit the Committee record for the Vice Chair role
* Enter an end term of the current year and an end date of the last day they will serve as Vice Chair and save this.
* Next, click to Add a New Member.
* Now enter this person with a start term of this year, role of Chair, and a start date of the day after the end date for Vice Chair.

This way, the records of her being Vice Chair will be maintained.

NOTE:  it is important that the join date and end dates are between the starting term and ending term dates.
