(Mike Boyd) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:53:08 PM PST US Subject: TeamGrumman-List: AYA Convention Dates - Call to Action. From: Mike Boyd 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 ------ Michael Boyd '76 AA5A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message teamgrumman-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/TeamGrumman-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/teamgrumman-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/teamgrumman-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
