February 2007 Chapter Newsletter

In preparation for the March Chapter Meeting, there are a few information items that need to be passed along to the membership. Please review the following information and we will open the information for discussion at the March Chapter Meeting.

Amended By-Laws PROPOSAL

Please review the attached PROPOSED amendments to the GCAPT By-Laws. The following is a brief outline of the proposed changes:

  1. various grammatical and punctuation corrections
  2. changing the offices of the Executive Committee from President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamentarian to President, President-Elect, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Ex-Officio. This change provides one more officer and allows for better distribution of the officer duties. With this change, the Vice President will assume the role and responsibility of historian for the GCAPT.
  3. adding the requirement for Road-e-o contestants to score at least 50% of the total possible score in their category at Regional Road-e-o in order to receive the monetary sponsorship of the GCAPT to attend the State Road-e-o.

These amendments will be scheduled for a vote at the April Chapter Meeting in Deer Park.
