Officer Replacement Procedures

After the resignation of Andy Townend Board of Directors it was decided that new permanent replacement procedures for officers needed to be put in place.

Two amendments were made to the constitution concerning this.

Article IV

Section 3

A.  Replacement of Executive Board Officers.

Executive Board members shall be replaced through a nomination from sitting board members at a functioning board meeting.  A nomination must be seconded.  If only one nomination is made, the appointment can be made by unanimous consent.  If no consent can be reached, a yes or no closed ballot vote will be held with the simple majority rule in effect.  If there is more than one candidate, then there will be a secret ballot with the simple majority rule in effect.  If there is not a simple majority voting for one candidate, then a runoff will occur between the top two candidates.

A motion to vote on this amendment was made and seconded.

The vote was unanimous among the attending voting members.

Article IV

Section 3.

B   Replacement of Board Members (non-executive)

1.   In the event of a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the chair will appoint three (3) board members to screen applications and grant interviews to the most qualified candidates.  In the event that more interviews are needed than can be accommodated, the chair may appoint multiple committees to screen applicants.  All committees are required to report their findings in a brief of the applicants to the board.  The board will then discuss and vote on the applicants at the next meeting, requiring a simple majority vote.  In the event that a majority can not be reached, a runoff will be held at the same meeting.

2.  The application period will be open for a minimum of two weeks immediately preceding the application committee's initial review of the applications and can be extended as necessary at the discretion of the chair.

A motion to vote on this amendment was made and seconded.

The vote was unanimous among the attending voting members.
