Procedure for election of Directors (see Sect. V. Bylaws) (President Sect. IV)
Please contact the nominations committee if you are interested in being a Director:
Theresia Shearer 317-407-2138 member
Greg Sickmeier 317-697-4462 member
Dick Snodgress 317-374-3591 director
Dennis Shelley 317-370-6712 chair
Election of Directors: Two Directors positions expire annually end of March. The President shall call an election during a monthly meeting, January-March to elect/re-elect Directors. The members attending the meeting may nominate candidates in addition to those selected by the nominating committee.
V. Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors will consist of six members of the Club.
Directors will serve a three-year term with two Directors being elected annually.
In the event a Director is unable to complete a three-year term a replacement Director will be elected during the next annual election to complete the remainder of the Term.
Term of office and election:
Directors elected to a three-year term will take office on April 1, each year.
Annually, during the fall months, the President shall appoint a nominating committee chaired by a board member. The nominating committee should consist of four members two of which are not current board members. The election of Directors will be conducted during a regular meeting no later than March each Fiscal Year. Additional nominations from the floor during the regular meeting are in order.
Duties of Board of Directors:
The primary duties of the Board of Directors are to elect the President and to provide input, review and approval of the annual budget prepared by the Officers. Other duties of the Board are contained in these bylaws, or are assigned by the President.
Anyone interest in being Club President contact a current Board of Director by January 4, 2019.
IV. Election and appointment of officers:
The Term of office for President begins on April 1 to coincide with the Fiscal Year of the Club. The Board of Directors will elect the President annually in January. It is desirable that the Board elects a current Board member to the office of President, but it is not required. The term of Office for President is one year. The Board of Directors may elect the President to consecutive terms of office.
If I may,
I’d like to motion that the President serve a 3 year term equal to the terms of those who serve on the board of Directors.
It’s my observation that the President is just getting to know everyone at the start of the riding season and a few short months later, the season is over and we’re talking about electing a new President. I believe this longer term would allow the President to have a better focus of the direction of the Club going forward.
