Proposed Bylaws Changes 2021

The Executive Committee proposes to amend the bylaws. In accordance with Article 9 of the current bylaws*, the proposed amendment has been posted to our Facebook page more than 45 days ahead of our next business meeting the week of November 15. Please review these changes and be prepared to vote on it at the meeting. Click on the images to read the proposed changes

A summary of the changes are:
○ Update wording of Article 5: Officers and Their Duties
○ Adding a duties description to the Members at Large bullet point.
○ Updated wording of the nomination of Members at Large and moving that bullet point into Article 7: Nominations and Elections.
○ Replacing the phrase “Business Meeting” with “meetings and/or activities” throughout the bylaws.
○ Removing “website” from the duties of the Webmaster. Leaving it open to include any and all online presence(s).
○ Adding the phrase “of the Executive Committee” to the end of the Webmaster duties to better define the scope of duties.

* "Amendments to these bylaws may be proposed any time during the year. Amendments may be proposed during a business meeting or via email to a member of the Executive Committee. In either case, the Executive Committee will post upcoming amendments for consideration on the CVLA website a minimum of 45 days before being voted on in a business meeting. To pass an amendment requires 2/3 “yes” vote by members present at the business meeting targeted to vote on the amendment; members unable to attend that meeting may cast a vote in absentia by emailing it to the CVLA secretary no later than one day prior to that business meeting."

Author Visit!

We're excited to present "Evening with An Author" featuring Tiffany Rosenhan! This event will be on
Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00 PM in the Logan High School Auditorium at 162 W 100 S (Logan, UT). CVLA has hosted many author events since its founding in 2012, including Jan Brett, Jennifer Nielsen, Nathan Hale, and Jan Pinborough. This event is free and open to the public.

Tiffany Rosenhan, granddaughter of Oscar-winning screen writer Mary Astor (The Maltese Falcon), lives in Millcreek, Utah with her husband, who works as a critical care physician, and four young daughters. Girl From Nowhere (released July 2020) is her debut novel about which Booklist says “Heartpounding international action fuels this novel at an unrelenting pace... Thoroughly different from most YA offerings. . . (a) twisting, turning thriller from beginning to end.”

Tiffany Rosenhan will be spending most of the day at Logan High School working with students before her evening presentation.
