If a vacancy on the Board of Directors occurs, it is proposed that a nominee selected by the board will fill out the term of the person they replace. This would not require a special mail ballot. LuAnn Wandsnider, as current Treasurer, spends 5-10 hours a week on these activities. Thus, this is a substantial commitment. A motion was made to make the following change to the proposed amendment of Article V, Section 2.
New officers take office immediately after annual business meeting.
The Treasurer's position would be a three-year term instead of one year because the organization needs continuity. The Editor is a three-year term. We are proposing the Board would also select the Treasurer for a three-year term. The Treasurer would be an ex officio member accountable to the Board. There would still be nine voting directors plus the editor and treasurer.
