SOME PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN REGARDING THE BYLAW CHANGE PROPOSED AND VOTED ON THAT WOULD RAISE ASSOCIATION DUES TO CRCEA AND ALSO SET A HIGHER DELEGATE FEE AT CONFERENCES.
To almost everyone's dismay, a problem has been noted and reported regarding a vote of the Board of Directors at the October 26, 2011 meeting. A question has been raised as to the legality of the bylaw change vote, which the Executive Committee feels was not properly noticed. Everyone on the Executive Committee is concerned that the bylaw change must have been properly noticed before a vote. Some Association Delegates feel the vote was properly noticed and disagree with the Executive Board's findings. A discussion continues as to which opinion is correct. Fortunately, all the parties involved are trying to come to an equitable and fair outcome. It has also become apparent that the CRCEA bylaws have, at a minimum, some abiguities. President Murphy has appointed a new Bylaws Committee Chair, David Muir, who is attempting to draft corrections to the bylaws that will avoid such problems in the future. Reconsideration of properly noticed bylaw changes may be coming at the April Conference.
The above personal opinion is expressed by Ann Gregory, CRCEA V.P. and Web Site Chair.
