This post shall serve as notice that at the last Regular Meeting of the Membership of the Corporation, a change to the Bylaws of the Corporation was proposed by President Joseph Brennan, and with the unanimous consent of the board, shall be put to the membership for a vote on March 24, 2025, of which vote this post shall serve as constructive notice:
The proposed change is:
- Article 2, Membership shall be amended to state that no President of the Association shall have the power to modify the geographic boundaries of the association without first proposing such a change to the Board of Directors, with whose approval the President may call for a vote of the Membership after sixty (60) days notice has been given, beginning the day the proposed boundary change is announced by the President and the Board at a Regular Meeting of the Membership.
If such a change in the geographic boundaries of the association is agreed by a vote of the Membership after sixty days, the President shall be empowered to bind the Corporation by signing an agreement with other involved parties to effect such a change. Any such document signed by the President in the absence of of a duly authorized vote of the Membership, occurring at least sixty days after constructive notice has been published, shall be null and void.
Neither a vacancy in any office of the Corporation, nor a lack of a quorum of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, nor any civil emergency, war, or pandemic shall furnish any excuse for failing adhere to this Article in changing the geographic boundaries of this association; rather, the remaining officer(s) or board members of the Corporation shall wait until such time as a quorum exists and the procedures outlined in this Article may be followed.
- In 2008, a previous president (to the best of the present leadership’s knowledge) unilaterally signed a document removing part of our association from our geographic boundaries, granting them to another association instead. A subsequent president refused a similar move relating to another portion of our association; however, it was the consensus of the board and the assembled membership that such decisions not be left to the whim of a single officer or member in the future.
