NOTE – BYLAW CHANGE PROPOSAL
A Bylaw change is being presented at the AGM as follows:
Current Bylaw:
10.08 A quorum of the Board shall consist of ten (10) elected Directors.
Proposed change:
10.08 A quorum of the Board, as outlined in Article 7.02, shall consist of the
lesser of:
(i) 40% of elected and/or appointed Directors, or
(ii) eight (8) elected and/or appointed Directors.
Justification:
The reasoning for this is that regardless of Board composition our quorum is established. If the Board of Directors does indeed grow to 22, or 25 with appointed positions, the requirements of the quorum will still be met. With our current numbers at 14, (40% is 5.6) a quorum would be 6 for the Board and quorum for Executive would remain at 5.
It is recommended to lean towards brevity and clarity for the purposes of bylaws.
For reference following are Articles 7.01 and 10.09 referred to above (no changes in these Articles required):
7.01 The Board shall consist of
(a) the Immediate Past President, the President and the President-Elect,
(b) 19 elected Directors, and
(c) any other person appointed to a position under 8.04.
10.09 A quorum of the Executive Committee shall consist of five (5) members of
the Executive.

See you on the 23rd!
