Membership Meeting & Elections: Dec 6, 2022

MSI 2023 officer and board voting will be held on Tuesday December 6th, 2022 at 7:30 PM.

We have new officers and board members running, we also have 3 bylaws changes we will be voting on.

The 3 article amendments we will be voting on 12/06/22 are as follows:
  • Article 4 allows for only the President to call an emergency meeting. Amendment would also allow for any two officers to call an emergency meeting.
  • Article 5 requires a minimum qualification for President and Vice President to have been a club member for 3 years. The amendment would reduce this to 2 years.
  • Article 6 requires that the Treasurer only disperses club funds by check only. The amendment would allow regularly recurring charges to be set up on auto-pay (ie, garbage, electricity)
What we currently have as those bylaws with the changes in bold:
 
4.4 The President, or any two officers, can call an emergency
board meeting at any time, provided he has attempted to give
at least a 24-hour notice to the other board members, and there
is a quorum of board members present for the meeting.
 
5.4.4 In order for a nominee to be elected he must receive a simple majority vote of those
members present. Nominees for President and Vice-President must have been
members in good standing of the Club for at least three (3) 2 years to be elected. All
other candidates must have been a member in good standing for at least one (1) year.
 
6.4.1 The Treasurer will endeavor to manage the Clubs financial affairs. This
should include but not be limited to collection of all dues, revenues, and any
other income accumulated by the Club. Make deposits of all funds collected
in to the Club’s designated bank accounts. The Treasurer will disburse Club
funds by checks only, with the exception of regularly reoccurring charges
which may be set up on auto-pay as approved by the Board. All checks will
be co-signed by the President, or, in his absence, another authorized Club
Officer. Incomplete checks cannot be signed. The Treasurer will make written
monthly financial reports and read them at the Club’s general meetings,
pay all authorized bills through the 31st of December, and cause the Club’s
financial records to be kept. The out-going Treasurer will turn the
financial records over to the auditing committee at the first meeting in January.
The incoming Treasurer will present the auditing committee’s report for
the previous year to the Club’s membership at the February general
meeting.
