DWC Members: We Need Your Vote on Proposed DWC Bylaw Revision
The DWC By-Laws were recently reviewed by the Steering Committee and a change is proposed. The modification to the By-Laws is in Article 4, Section C. The proposed change specifies that only the President and Treasurer will be elected to their roles and other roles may be appointed from among at-large members. This change is intended to allow greater flexibility for leadership within the Steering Committee.
This modification can be adopted with a simple majority of the membership at the September 2 breakfast meeting.
If you cannot be present at the DWC monthly meeting on Friday, September 2 to vote in person, or if you just want to vote now, please submit your YES or NO vote to [email protected].
Voting by email will begin at noon on Wednesday August 24 and end on Thursday, September 1 at 6pm
NOTE: These two offices are the ones required for our PAC and financial forms. This is one reason. The other was that having the Chair and the Vice Chair elected in opposite years didn't allow for a natural succession of the Chair.
A simple majority of the whole membership is needed for it to pass. If you don't know whether or not you paid your dues this year, please contact DWC Treasurer Vicky Sorensen, [email protected].
