PROPOSED BY-LAW CHANGE
2022 By Laws Change
Members, the Board of Directors has discussed and approve a potential change to the By Laws. The change is making the number of consecutive terms an At Large Board Member can serve to three rather than two, which is the current number of terms. The reason for the change is to bring the number of terms an At Large Board Member can serve in line with the number of terms an officer can serve. The Board of Directors recommends the members vote in favor of this change.
Current By-laws:
Article IV Board of Directors
Section 3
b. An at-large Director shall serve a term of three (3) years commencing on the date of his or her election and continuing until he or she resigns or is removed or is otherwise disqualified to serve, or his or her successor is elected and qualified, whichever occurs first. The ten at-large Directors shall be divided into three (3) Classes, the first of which shall consist of four (4) members and the second and third of three (3) members each; the terms of each Class shall expire in staggered years. No at-large Director may serve more than two (2) consecutive three-year terms.
Proposed Change to the By-Laws:
b. An at-large Director shall serve a term of three (3) years commencing on the date of his or her election, and continuing until he or she resigns or is removed or is otherwise disqualified to serve, or his or her successor is elected and qualified, whichever occurs first. The ten at-large Directors shall be divided into three (3) Classes, the first of which shall consist of four (4) members and the second and third of three (3) members each; the terms of each Class shall expire in staggered years. No at-large Director may serve more than three (3) consecutive three-year terms.
