Recommendations:
•I feel that a thorough review of bylaws would result in a leaner document that could be better utilized. Committee and duties need updating or eliminating. Job descriptions need to be reviewed and changed where necessary.
Executive Board action requested:
•Convene a committee of past board members and especially past presidents to discuss a name change and a revision of the board structure with the intent of possibly changing the structure of the board’s mamagement and duties.
Representative Assembly Action Requested:
•Under New Business at the General Assembly, ask for permission to form a new committee for the purpose of investigating a name change and Constitution and Bylaws changes to the membership.
It is moved that the President appoint a committee including former MAHPERD presidents to advise the board on the change of the MAHPERD name and revision of the Executive Board to make the organization’s bylaws and constitution better reflect its vision and mission.
It is moved that one of the requirements of an incoming president-elect is that the nominee must have been a member of the Executive Board or a participating committee member within the past 3 of the P-E years of serving as P-E.
Rationale: The responsibilities of the PE in terms of meeting commitments, bylaws and constitutional requirements would be best served by an individual who had recently (within 3 years) been a member of the Executive Board or a member of one of the organization committees.
