As Secretary of our organization, it is my duty to send out ballots for elections and ammendments to the bylaws (per Bylaws Article IV, Section C-4).
Our Bylaws state the following:
Article VII, Section 3 (Regarding nomination and election of officers)
a. Subsequent to the completion of nominations, the Nominating Committee shall send to each Section member in good standing a written ballot to be returned no later than June 1.
b. Members must sign the outside envelope containing the ballot and the ballot must be post marked by the date specified in order for the ballot to be valid.
Article IX, Section 2 (Regarding voting on ammendments to Bylaws)
a. The Section membership shall be notified of the proposed amendment within 30 days of receipt of the ammendment proposal.
b. The Section membership shall be balloted by mail on the proposed amendment between 30 and 60 days after membership notification of the amendment proposal.
In order to facilitate any votes of the types listed above, we need every member’s current mailing address. Please email beachswe at gmail dot com your name and mailing address. If your address is not received prior to the next vote, you will not have the ability to vote. Addresses may also be given at General Body meetings. A PDF of the bylaws is available here.
Thank you,
Angela Leese
