.


A president, a vice-president, and a treasurer can be elected in  8*7*6 = 336 ways.    ( ! PERMUTATIONS 3 of 8 )



The remaining 5 of eight-person board of directors do not need to be elected, since they AUTOMATICALLY are the members 
of the committee to study future expansion.


          Wish all of them further success in their activity !
