Old Business
Don Dewar KD9NJR has proposed updates to our Constitution and Bylaws during the September meeting. He presented valid reasons to edit six Articles that have become outdated (such as TVI Committee). The Board reviewed his suggested text changes and we’ll publish the proposed updates in time for the inclusion on the Ballot in November.
- Don KD9NJR moved in September to place proposed Constitution Updates on our November Ballot. Ed Lishka AC9SD seconded. Motion Adopted
- Bill KW9WR moved to approved Don’s Bylaw revisions as presented. Danny KD9HIL seconded. Adopted under authority granted to the Board of Directors.
Therefore only the Constitution Revisions will be on the November Ballot since the Bylaws are adopted tonight. Such revisions will be published to SARC-ALL for membership review. The Ballot will ask for an Up-Down vote.
