Bylaws amendment review committee report.
To ensure that feedback and input is received from all constituents during the amendment process to the National Bylaws, the Bylaws Amendment Review Committee comprises National Board Members, Affiliate Managers and Chairmen of Affiliates. With this balance, the role of the Committee is to ensure that an Amendment cannot be adopted unless it has been fully disclosed, discussed, deliberated and commented upon.
The Bylaws Amendment Review Committee met by telephone conference call to discuss, understand and review the changes recommended to the NACM Bylaws. The Committee found all of the changes to be favorable and recommends that the Board proceed with the Amendment.
The Amendment Process
As background, any proposed amendment to the National Bylaws must be made by either the Board, by 15% of the Affiliates or by 5% of the membership. The Amendment under current review was made by the National Board of Directors. All Amendment proposals are sent to the Bylaw Amendment Review Committee for review and consideration. After consideration, the Bylaw Amendment Review Committee submits its findings and comments about the Amendment in writing to the Board. Both the proposed Amendment and the report are published to the membership so that notice is provided to all constituents--members and Affiliates--along with avenue for comment. The Board can vote to adopt the Amendment 90 days after both the Amendment and report have been published if no objections are made. The final Board action is also published to all members so that if the Board were to adopt an Amendment against the wishes of the membership, it can seek to override such action.
The Amendment
The primary goal of this Amendment is to reduce the size of the National Board. The current size of the National Board is 30 members; there are 29 voting members plus the NACM President, which is a non-voting position. This Amendment will reduce the size of the Board to 18.
The Amendment proposal eliminates the Executive Committee. Currently, the National Board operates at two levels; there is a 12-member Executive Committee and the 30-person full Board. To avoid the redundancy of issues being first considered by the Executive Committee and then recommended for reconsideration to the full Board, the full Board will be engaged in the deliberation and consideration of all issues. With fiduciary responsibility growing in importance, it's important that every voting member of the Board be engaged in the deliberation and consideration of all decisions.
