The Board of Directors reviewed Section VI of the by-laws at their quarterly meeting in May. Proposed changes were brought to the June club meeting and were approved for posting in the July newsletter. A vote to approve these changes to the by-laws will be held at the July club meeting.
Changes are proposed to address 3 specific items:
1. The by-laws specify that the President will organize meetings of the Board of Directors and set the agenda. It is proposed that the Board organize their own meetings 4 times a year, but still invite the President. This is intended to offload duties from the President.
2. The by-laws section about Officers also includes descriptions of other club roles such as results coordinator and youth coordinator. It is proposed to remove descriptions of the volunteer positions and only describe the elected officers and appointed officers. An accurate list of the volunteer coordinators and committees is hard to maintain and isn’t necessary within the by-laws.
3. The by-laws do not describe any framework for conducting club elections. A new Section XI is proposed to provide some boundaries around the election process without being too detailed.
