The last appendix titled Appendix II. Annual Timeline is very messy. I am trying to figure out the best timeline and could use some input. At the last meeting we agreed that elections should be held in September, the Executive Board would then hold office from October to September. We came to this decision after weighing the difficulty of travel in our area in the winter months and the flexibility of wanting to be able to travel in the summer. However, we should decide when we are going to announce elections, when we should expect nominations to be finalized, and how we should accept new members (all year long or seasonally?)

Please let me know what your thoughts are!
DON'T FORGET - IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN EXECUTIVE BOARD POSITION THE NEXT ELECTIONS WILL BE AT THE MARCH MEETING. PLEASE SELF-NOMINATE VIA EMAIL!

They look really good to me. A couple of things I was thinking that could be added was what the actual cost of the dues are (unless that's not a Bylaws thing...) and since there is costs associated after x times attending, who is responsible for taking that attendance and collecting those fees at the meeting.
ReplyDeleteUnless that stuff was in there and I just missed it - it's a lot to read!
Also, this doesn't really relate to Bylaws I don't think but do we have a method to prove you are a member in good standing? Places like Joann's and stuff give discounts to guild members but you need proof to get the discount card. Just something to think about...
Attendance is usually a sign up on the sheet thing, but we could always have the Secretary do a quick check to make sure number of bodies match number of signatures. Yes, I think we mentioned at the last meeting that there will eventually be membership cards but we just haven't gotten there yet!
ReplyDeleteAs for keeping track of everything, there was a big announcement which is relevant to that from the National MQG so I will talk about that a bit on Saturday!
