[NFBA-Phoenix] Proposed Changes to the NFB Phoenix Chapter Constitution

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

Here are the changes that we will vote on during our January 2019 meeting.

Article III
Section Five - Expulsion

We, the Phoenix Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind chose
to adhere and abide by the Code of Conduct that has been set forth and
signed by the officers and members of the National
organization and the Arizona Affiliate. Any member may be expelled for
violation of this Constitution or for conduct unbecoming to a member
of the Federation by a majority vote of the active members present and
voting at any regular business meeting of this organization. The state
convention of this organization may reinstate any person who has been
expelled unless such expulsion has been confirmed by the National
Convention or by the Board of Directors of the National Federation of
the Blind, in which event the person may not be reinstated except by
the National Convention or by the National Board. Any person who feels
that he/she has been unjustly expelled from this organization may
appeal to the Board of Directors of the National Federation of the
Blind, which may (in its discretion) consider the matter and make a
binding decision.

ARTICLE VI. MEETINGS

This organization shall hold regular meetings at a time and place to
be determined by the membership. At least one-fourth (1/4 or 25%) of
active members must be present to constitute a quorum to transact
business. The President of this organization may call a special
meeting of the body at any time he/she, or a majority of the Board of
Directors deems such action to be necessary. In the instance of not
being able to hold quorum, and timely business needs to be conducted,
four (4) board members may meet separate from the general membership
in-person or electronically, to vote on the said timely business. If
the majority of board members are unable to hold quorum and vote on
timely business, business affairs will be tabled until the next
general meeting or the majority of the board can hold quorum.
