[Nfbf-l] You Need Not Be Present to Win!

[Marion & Martin]

Craig and Listers,
    One thing i would like to point out is that the NFBF Constitution says 
that officers and Board members are elected by a majority of the members 
present and voting. there is no proxy votes. The Constitution, however, says 
absolutely nothing requiring an individual to be present to be nominated and 
elected. In fact, I know of several instances in which a Chapter - and even 
a national division - elected an officer who was not present!
    The Constitution of the national Federation of the blind of Florida is 
available at

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala-Schoch
