OFFICERS AND BOARD DIRECTORS
Section 1 – Board of Directors
The Board of Directors shall constitute the governing body of the Club. The Board shall consist of nine (9) elected members, the previous year Regional Executive, and the members appointed by the elected Board to fill the positions not from the members of the then elected Board. The (9) elected Board Members shall be chosen in the following manner:
- Any ten (10) members, in good standing, of the Club may nominate one (1) or as many as three (3) candidates for Director. Such nomination must be made in writing, signed by the members making the nomination, and delivered to the Secretary by theNovember membership meeting. The Secretary shall prepare a ballot to be mailed to the members in good standing or posted to the website not more than thirty (30) days or less than fifteen (15) days in advance of the Annual Meeting. All voting shall be by mail or electronic means as approved by the Board of Directors, and all ballots must be postmarked or submitted at least five (5) days before the date of the Annual Meeting. The officers may, at their discretion, devise and use a secret ballot form that will be satisfactory to the majority of the Officers.
Suggested change:
Replace November with September
Justification for the proposed changes:
Under the current bylaws, the new elected members of the BOD are stuck with the decisions of the prior year’s BOD. Race and Solo schedules are normally determined prior to ther end of the calendar year. This change of the BOD service year puts the responsibility for event scheduling on the appropriate BOD and committees.
