Recommended Bylaws Revisions

Article IV
Board of Directors

Sec. 1. Number, Manner of Selection and Terms of Office

1. Line 4: remove the “and qualified” so the line reads “years, or until their successors have been qualified and elected”… Additionally do we need to add in line five “of the board” after elected members so it reads “elected members of the board shall appoint such additional directors”…?
2. Do we need a clarification that the co-director does or does not count in the total of 6 appointed directors?

Article VII
Meetings

Sec. 3. Quorum

Do we need to insert the words “annual business or general” in front of meetings and/or insert the words “of the membership of” after the word meetings? That would result in the first line reading, “Fifteen percent of the voting members shall constitute a quorum at all annual business or general meetings of the membership of the League of…”

Article VIII
Nominations and Elections

Sec. 1. Nominating Committee

Change the paragraph to read:

The nominating committee shall consist of at least three members. The chairperson and one member, who shall not be members of the Board of Directors, shall be elected at the annual business meeting. Nominations for these positions shall be made by the current nominating committee. At least one other member shall be appointed by the Board of Directors immediately following the annual business meeting. The nominations committee may consist of more than three members as long as the ratio of appointed to elected not exceed 2:3. Any vacancy in the nominating committee shall be filled by a member appointed by the Board of Directors. Suggestions for nominating for officers and directors may be sent to this committee by any voting member.

Delete the words “and nominating committee members so the sentence reads “ “The chairperson shall attend at least one Board meeting.”

Article XII

Sec. 1. The Bylaws Committee

Do we need to change the size of the bylaws committee? It says three members???
