[LIBRARYDIR] FW: Proposed LLC Bylaws changes for fall meeting

[Vivienne Mcclendon]

Yes, the first meeting the new chair presides over is the summer one which is a nice soft start.
As far as appointing the webmasters/hosts, we never appointed a new one in my time as Jennifer Dysart was always serving.
We can create a method. It could be by appointment of the members attending in summer, a part of the first acts of the new chair?

Tammy, how are the webmasters and webhosts appointed?  The wording now seems to indicate that they’ll be elected with the other officers.

Also, past practice is that the out-going chair gives up the gavel at the end of the Spring meeting rather than July 1.  The new chair’s first act, at the end of the spring meeting, is to discuss the next year’s meetings.  I’m not opposed to a change, but it is a change.

Thanks for getting these written up and disseminated!  Am I causing trouble?
Thanks,
Jennifer

At the spring LLC meeting suggestions were made to amend the bylaws, but we were not able to get them ready in time for the summer meeting.  So we’re trying again for fall.

Attached is a copy of the proposed bylaws with suggested amendments redlined.  The primary purpose of the amendments was to add positions of webhost and webmasters but not make them part of the executive committee.  I think I’ve worded the changes to accomplish that.  There also seemed to be some confusion about the time of transition for elected officials this year, so in consultation with Melinda, I added a section under voting to indicate when the new officers take office.

These proposed changes are being sent out at least two weeks in advance of our meeting as required in the bylaws.  Please review them in advance of the meeting and be prepared to discuss and/or approve them on Monday afternoon.  If you have suggestions before this coming Monday, let me know and I can send out a new proposal on Monday and still meet the deadline.  Thanks for your time.

Tammy
