Rev. Gallmon has not been officially installed as president of the Minneapolis NAACP branch. The swearing in ceremony was done outside of the by-laws, and will have to be done over. The NAACP by-laws require that the swearing in of the president-elect and other officers take place at a branch membership meeting, ordinarily the first regularly scheduled branch meeting after the election results are certified (and any formal challenges have been resolved). Ricky Campbell had two unofficial swearing in ceremonies before he was officially sworn in as President of the Minneapolis NAACP branch for the first time in February 1999.
