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."
