Official Chapter business for June - please take notice [pun not intended because the lawyers on the board will probably look at this author cross-eyed for not being on the level]:
Notice is given that a TVTU Chapter Special Meeting of Members will be held for the purpose of voting on amendments to the Chapter’s Bylaws. The virtual meeting will be held on June 28, 2022 at 6:00 p.m.; join the meeting through the ink that will be provided in that months The Trout Line newsletter.
The proposed substantive amendments are as follows:
- Providing for a 2/3 vote by the Chapter’s Board members in attendance at any Board meeting in order to remove any Officer. This amendment is to conform the Chapter Bylaws to the current TU Model Bylaws provision.
- Providing that the Board will elect its Officers at the Board meeting following the Annual Members Meeting, from nominations made by the Nominating Committee. This amendment is to provide that the Board rather than the Members elect the Officers.
- Providing that the President and Treasurer sign all checks over $500. This amendment is to raise the dual signature amount from the current $200 figure.
- Providing that all Officers are limited to two consecutive two year terms in the same office but can hold the same office again after a one year period out of office. This amendment is to conform the Chapter Bylaws to the current TU Model Bylaws provision.
- Providing that the Chapter’s fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31. This amendment is to conform to the changed fiscal year adopted by TU.
- Providing that the quorum for any Members meeting at which the Bylaws are amended is the lesser of thirty Chapter members or ten percent of the Chapter’s membership. This amendment is to conform the Chapter Bylaws to the current TU Model Bylaws provision.
