2025 Election: Bylaws Change Summary

Bylaws Summary:

  • Article III, A, 3.  Added hiring employees

  • Article III, B. 5. Added that majority of Board member in attendance may call for an executive session

  • Article VI, 2. President is now an elected position

  • Article VI, 3. Added section regarding Director-at-Large position not elected, but past president.

  • Article VI, 6. Removed term limits of officers and Directors.

  • Article VII – Elections electronic only and tallying completed by software used for elections.

Aside from some language clean-up and updating, the three main changes to the Bylaws are:

  1. Term limits removed. One reason is to keep experienced volunteers interested in staying on from being “termed” out.

  2. President is now an elected position, rather than the First VP automatically becoming President every two years.

  3. Elections are now electronic only.
