PROPOSED BYLAW CHANGE
The Past President’s role on the NPSOT-Williamson County Chapter Board is a key position. Our chapter bylaws currently and correctly name this position as a chapter officer but the bylaws do not describe its key duties.
NPSOT-Wilco’s current board of directors recommends amending one article in our bylaws with the update described below. Our bylaws call for 30 days notice to chapter members before voting on an amendment so the proposed update will be voted upon at our December 12, 2019 chapter meeting. We will also announce the proposed update at the chapter meeting on November 14.
The specific changes between the current bylaw and the proposed revision are noted in bold green. The chapter’s current bylaws can be found on the chapter website under About Us->Chapter Documents->NPSOT-Wilco Bylaws.
Article IV. Officers and Board, Section 5. Duties of Officers
Proposed Revision: Insert a new item E, and renumber the current item, “Directors”, from E to F.
E. Past President
1) Provides continuity to the board and provides historical knowledge regarding board decisions made during their presidency.
2) Shall be the Chairman of the Nominating Committee and recruits the members for the committee.
3) Is authorized to sign checks presented to them by the Treasurer.
F. Directors
