Chapter News & Announcements:
Amended Bylaws Ratification
The Board has reviewed and approved amendments to the chapter bylaws. At the February chapter meeting, the board will ask for ratification by members on these changes. Amendments are as follows:
- Extending the terms of board members to two years with staggered elections. This will improve the ability of our newly elected board members to acclimate and drive longer term programs; and it reduces the turnover of the board in any given year.(See Article V, Section 6)
- Increasing the minimum level to $1000 for two signatures on checks for expenses. All budget items are reviewed and approved on a yearly basis. Individual expenses are reviewed by the treasurer before reimbursement. This higher level for two signatures reduces the effort and turn-around time for previously approved expenses. It allows electronic (email) approvals of expenses from other approving board members for exceptions. Also, the financial books are independently audited each year, and available for review by members at any time.(See Article VII, Section 3)
