Best Answer

The mayor pro tem performs the sme function as most vice-presidents, or vice-chairman, or many organizations. That person serves in the absence of the mayor, or at the direction of the mayor. In practical terms, ofter that seat is used to prepare and train the next person to become mayor. In thomasville, by custom, mayors only serve for a four-year term, so there is a need to have a future mayor "in training." By Len Powell, former mayor pro tem and mayor of Thomasville.
