Hello Everyone,
Hopefully this will be the last time you are hearing from me about
this subject. And for those that are sick of the subject, I
apologize.
I have taken the comments that were provided and written the formal
request for the amendment to the AYA constitution to remove the date
restriction. The text of the letter can be found at the end of the
original AYAForum topc here: http://ayaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=185
A signed hard-copy will be mailed to our Secretary-Treasurer in
accordance with the guidelines spelled out in the AYA constitution.
Now, it's your turn. I've included reference to the poll in the
letter, but it is by far the best if the board hears directly from
it's membership. So, please take a moment and contact your regional
director and/or other board members and let them know how you feel
about the idea. You should be able to find contact information for
them on the aya.org site. If you have troubles getting contact
information, please let me know and I will do what I can to assist.
For your reference, here is the process, from the current AYA
constitution as published on the aya.org site:
---
Amendments: Requests for an amendment to this Constitution may be
submitted in writing to the Secretary-Treasurer. The
Secretary-Treasurer will send a copy of the proposal to the President
and retain the original. The President shall then submit copies to
the Board of Directors for consideration and a signature vote. The
Board shall then submit their vote to the Secretary-Treasurer and
another to the President. If the Board of Directors approves by a 60%
majority, the President shall then submit the amendment to the Editor
for immediate publication in the STAR for comment. It shall then be
voted upon by the membership at the same time as the election of
officers, and shall become a part of this Constitution if approved by
a 60% majority of those members voting.
A Special Election and/or ballot may be run at any time if a 60%
majority of the Board deems it necessary. The President shall submit
the proposal for publication in the STAR and call for a vote. Votes
shall be mailed to the Secretary-Treasurer and shall become a part of
this Constitution if approved by a 60% majority of those members
voting.
---
So, here is your chance. Let the board know that you want to vote on
the matter.
Clear skies and tail winds,
-Mike
