Notice of MCA Constitution and By-laws Revision
Posted by: | CommentsDuring the 2011 Annual Meeting, the National Executive Committee will set forth proposed revisions to the MCA Constitution and By-laws.
One significant revision is to revise the term of office for the President and Vice President from two years to three years. This will align these terms of office with those of the Secretary, Treasurer, National Committee members, and Trustees which are now three years.
Other revisions involve “housekeeping” actions such as changing the term “Executive Committee” to “National Executive Committee” throughout the to the text of the Constitution; announcement of the annual membership meeting 60 days prior vice 30 days prior; and additional responsibility of the National Executive Committee to provide annual guidance to the President and Executive Director.
These revisions will be presented to the first session of the membership meeting on 4 May 2011. All MCA Life Members and Annual Members in good standing present during this meeting are eligible to vote on the proposed actions.
