Special event October 27, 2016

FBL Membership Meeting 6:30 pm

Summary of Proposed Bylaw Amendments – October 2016 - to be voted on by members

Article V: Directors

Section 10: The bylaws as originally written required that when a Director vacates his or her position during the course of their term “[the] replacement shall be a property owner in the same Town as the vacating Director.” This limitation is removed in the proposed amendment.

Article VIII: Officers

Section 1: The bylaws did not specify the term length for officers. The section was changed to clarify that the term of office is three years.
Section 2: The bylaws did not specify how to handle an officer position that is vacated during the course of a term. The proposed amendment states that interim officers are elected by directors. They serve until next annual meeting after which the directors can elect the interim officer or another candidate to a full three-year term.
