2019 Annual Membership Meeting

Saturday May 18 @ 9:00 am

There will be breakfast tacos provided.

Proposed Change to Bylaws

We have a chance to make a needed change to the bylaws at the All Gardeners meeting on May 18, 9:00 AM. The proposed change would increase the term limits for the Secretary and Treasurer from 4 years to 6 years. While term limits for the Board is good policy in general, the positions of Secretary and Treasurer are more administrative and require continuity.

Specifically, the changes to Article 4 (6) are in red:

Term of Office for Directors - Directors shall serve terms of two (2) years or until their successor is elected After serving two consecutive terms, or three (3) consecutive terms in the case of the Secretary and Treasurer, a Director must vacate his or her position for at least one year before seeking re-election to another term. Terms of office for Directors run from June 1 through May 31.

The members can pass the amendment by a two-thirds vote since this constitutes 30 days notice. (Without prior notice, the amendment can be passed by 99% of the members present at the meeting.)

It should be noted that the Bylaws also provide for the recall of a director at any time with a petition signed by 10% of the members and a two-thirds vote of members present at a meeting.
