By Law Change in Summary
effective Jan. 01. 2009
|
Each member is required to attend no less than 65% of the scheduled
meetings for the year. If a member does not meet the minimum requirement
her membership shall be terminated. There are no longer "excused" and
"unexcused" absences; the 65% attendance must be met regardless. A member
who cannot attend a meeting may send a representative/employee of her
business in her stead to meet the requirement.
The amendment shall be incorporated into the by-law text as:
Page 4, paragraph titled Attendance shall have the last sentence referring
to "excused absence" removed.
Page 5, paragraph titled Leave of Absence shall be removed. Any leave f
absence after Jan. 1, 2009 shall be calculated by the 65% rule.
Page 5, paragraph titled Termination, subsection #1 shall have its text
replaced with: the member has failed to attend 65% of the scheduled
meetings in a calendar year. so that the new sequence will read:
Termination of a membership will occur when a member has failed to attend
65% of the scheduled meetings in a calendar year. The final sentence of
the Termination paragraph referring to "approved" and "non-approved" shall
be removed.
In each case where the old text has been altered or removed it shall be
annotated with the date of the revision.
