[Wsssc] (Action Requested) WSSSC Bylaws Vote

[Lauren Hibbs]

This message is being sent on behalf of WSSSC President Claire Peinado.

Colleagues,

Thanks to all who were able to attend the Fall WSSSC meeting in Walla Walla (and online).  We had a fantastic showing of participants, and it was wonderful to catch up with colleagues and enjoy the beautiful Walla Walla campus. Thank you to Graydon again for hosting us!

As a follow up to our workplan discussion, we developed a proposed revision to our bylaws to include ongoing commitments that we complete annually (such as maintaining our VP mentorship/onboarding model and reviewing our council's workplans).  While we expect we may have additional revisions to the bylaws, I'm proposing we vote on these amendments and consider any additional amendments at a future date.

Per the WSSSC bylaws<https://www.sbctc.edu/resources/documents/colleges-staff/commissions-councils/wsssc/bylaws-wsssc-2017.pdf>:

ARTICLE IV- AMENDMENTS: These bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of the members present, providing notification has been made at the previous meeting or by written notice sent out at least two weeks prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. All amendments will be written out in full for the study of the members.

Please see Ruby's proposed bylaw revisions below and VOTE HERE<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MD8LL6D> no later than November 3, 2023.  We will report out on the outcome of the vote shortly thereafter.

In the meantime, stay tuned for a cleaned up workplan draft for your review.

Wishing you a great week and smooth sailing for the rest of Fall Quarter!

Best,
Claire
