ADD THAT VOTING FOR OFFICERS CAN OCCUR BY ELECTRONIC BALLOT
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:
Article VIII. Nominations and Elections, Section 3 of the bylaws currently states, "Voting shall be by ballot in person, and a majority of the votes cast shall be necessary for election."

Proposal to modify this sentence to state, "Voting shall be by paper ballot in person or electronic ballot, and a majority of the votes cast shall be necessary for election."

REASON FOR CHANGE:
This change will allow for maximum flexibility in how voting occurs.

ELIMINATE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY POSITION
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:
Article IX. Officers and Directors, Section 1a of the bylaws currently states, "The elected officers and directors shall be president, vice president of membership, vice president of program, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, and treasurer of the Affiliate."

Proposal to eliminate the position of corresponding secretary and modify this sentence to state, "The elected officers and directors shall be president, vice president of membership, vice president of program, secretary, and treasurer of the Affiliate."

REASON FOR CHANGE:
Given the rise in electronic communications and how they are handled by the Board, we rarely ask the corresponding secretary to perform the specified duties.

MERGE DUTIES OF CORRESPONDING SECRETARY WITH SECRETARY POSITION
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:
Article IX. Officers and Directors, Section 2c of the bylaws currently describes the duties of the elected secretary and corresponding secretary.

Proposal to merge the duties of the corresponding secretary with the new secretary position.

REASON FOR CHANGE:
Given the rise in electronic communications and how they are handled by the Board, we rarely ask the corresponding secretary to perform the specified duties.

CHANGE TERM OF APPOINTED OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS FROM THREE YEARS TO TWO YEARS
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:

Officers and Directors, Section 1b of the bylaws currently states, "The appointed officers and directors shall be board members for public policy, fundraising, and other officers as shall be deemed necessary to carry on the work of the Affiliate. These officers shall be appointed by the president with the approval of the executive committee. Appointees shall serve a term of three years."

Proposal to modify the last sentence to state, "Appointees shall serve a term of two years."

REASON FOR CHANGE:
In practice, we ask appointed board positions to serve two year terms so we want to bring the bylaws into alignment.
