Candidates for the upcoming May elections (Kerr, Gillespie and Bandera) have been invited to be the speakers for the April meeting. Please come and hear what they have to say!

Bylaw Changes

Article XI Amendments

Amendments to these Bylaws must be recommended by the Board and approved by a majority vote of the members present at a membership meeting, provided that notice of the proposed amendment has been given at least one month prior to such meeting.

At the March meeting the Board presented the following proposed amendment:

A new ARTICLE IX REMOVAL

Any member of the Executive Board may be removed for failing to meet the responsibilities of the office in an ethical manner by the affirmative vote of a majority of the officers at any regular meeting of the Board or at any special meeting of the Board called for such purpose. When the Board determines that an individual should be removed, that individual shall be provided with notice of such removal and shall have the opportunity to respond and appeal such removal before the Board within ten days of receipt of notice. 

The remaining Articles will then be renumbered. Rationale: The Bylaws do not currently have a means by which an officer or chairman can be removed when he/she has not met the responsibilities of the office in an ethical manner. This proposal is a remedy for that problem while providing the person to be removed an opportunity to challenge the action.
