At the annual meeting of the LPBC held on July 26, 2010, the following board officers were elected. They will serve for a one-year term.
In addition, there are several proposed changes to the LPBC bylaws. By provisions in the bylaws, changes to the bylaws require the board to approve putting forth the suggested changes, publish the changes so the membership has a chance to see them, then vote on adopting the changes at the following board meeting (which the membership may attend if desired and vote on the changes).
These proposals were approved at the Annual Meeting of the LPBC on July 26. This constitutes publishing the proposals. They will be voted on for adoption at the next board meeting. That meeting has not yet been scheduled but will be announced soon.
The full text of the current LPBC bylaws can be found here.
There are three suggested changes which are linked below:
These changes are mostly cleanup and clarification, there are no substantive changes.
The Clarification of Term Dates is mainly to allow flexibility in the scheduling of the annual meeting. It does not remove the requirement to publicize the scheduling of that meeting well in advance. It simply removes the requirement that the annual meeting must be in July.
The Change of Registered Address is mainly to remove the hard-coding of the LPBC's mailing address from the bylaws, so that future changes to the mailing address do not require a bylaw change.
The Reconcile Wording Regarding Regular Meetings is to complete and clarify a change made some time ago. The requirement for regular meetings was changed from monthly to quarterly, but there are still places where the bylaws refer to monthly meetings. This change will make the bylaws consistent in this area.
