The following changes are being proposed to our chapter’s bylaws. Please review as these will be presented for a vote of the membership at our chapter’s annual meeting being held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020.
What changes are being proposed?
- Allow President-Elect to serve in a Director position. President-Elect is a position with few official duties, thus hurting the preparation for the actual Presidential term.
- Change Treasurer to Two-Year Term. In particular, changing the bank card is a tedious process, so a longer term reduces how often this has to happen.
- Flexible number of Director positions. Allow the Nominations Committee the flexibility to fill the roles based on the strategic direction, competency need, and roles available to support the Chapter effectively and efficiently
