[NFBMV] Elections

[Richard Payne]

This would only require a vote of the board for this year.

Richard Payne,  President
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
937-396-5573or 937/829/3368

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back

We don't do amendments for temporary things.  IT can be brought to the membership but I would recommend just doing it in December this year then sticking to October from this point forward.  Unless you are proposing that we make an amendment to move it to December.

>> In reviewing the constitution, we are actually supposed to hold elections in October.  As long as I have been in the chapter, however, we have held them at different times, the one coming to mind being held during our Christmas party in December, 2016.  So personally I am not opposed to us holding them in December.  I think we need to plan ahead for this a little better in future years, though, just to remain compliant.  This is fine, anyway, because the terms of the newly elected officers start on January 1.  Technically, we would be in further violation of the constitution if we had moved the elections to January.

>> Also, all officers' terms are for two years.  This we have been abiding by and passed this as an amendment of March of 2017.
