Policies & Bylaws 2

You will find our organization policies and bylaws below. Only policies will be adopted by the Board of Directors. If any changes to the bylaws are needed, then a team of volunteers will be picked, and they will try to find a resolution and then submit it to the members for ratification. A member vote will then take place and will be adopted by the board of directors.
Structure
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors shall serve as the policy-making body of the organization, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws. The Board shall ensure fair assessment and approval of new members by adhering to all applicable rules, regulations, policies, and bylaws. The Board of Directors shall fill vacancies as they occur and adopt or amend these Bylaws as necessary. The Board of Directors may revoke or deny membership, according to procedures it establishes, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the corporation and the community it serves.
The Board of Directors is a voluntary position. Members are elected to serve on the Board of Directors through a voting process.
The Board of Directors is required to respond to all correspondence in a timely manner.
Only one family member (as defined in the definitions) may serve on the Board of Directors at any given time.
Composition
The Board of Directors shall consist of between three (3) and nine (9) members. The exact number of members shall be determined by the Board of Directors, but such determination shall not occur more than once per election cycle.
Election
Members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by the Full Members of the Organization. One third (1/3) of the Board shall be elected annually to serve two-year terms, beginning at the Annual Meeting in the year of their election.
Members of the Board of Directors shall be elected through voting, according to procedures approved by the Board of Directors and published to members upon finalization of the election. Any Full Member may nominate one or more individuals (including themselves) as candidates for the Board of Directors, provided all candidates are Full Members of the Organization and in good standings at the time of nomination.
If a Board seat becomes vacant and more than six months remain in the term of the departing member, a successor shall be elected to serve the remainder of the term. If less than six months remain in the term, the Board may appoint a former Board member or candidate to complete the term, or it may choose to operate with fewer members until the next regular election.
When necessary, the Board may suspend the limitations on the maximum and minimum number of Board positions filled in an election, provided both of the following conditions are met:
No Board member may serve a term exceeding two years without being reelected.
The motion to invoke this clause shall be approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the sitting Board Members.
The election of Board members shall be conducted electronically. No member may cast more than one ballot in any given election.
Death or Resignation of a Board Member
If the number of Board members falls outside the range of three (3) to nine (9), the Board may continue to function provided all remaining members agree. If the Board agrees to fill a vacant seat, it may appoint a former Board member who consents to serve, subject to a two-thirds (2/3) vote. The appointed individual shall serve until the next regular election, at which point a member will be elected.
Meetings
Meetings shall be held once a month, primarily through communication software, with at least two in-person meetings annually. Board members are required to attend at least 80% of meetings online and at least 50% of meetings in person.
The Board Member has to be at least 8 online meetings and 1 in person meeting
All meetings will be recorded and logged for potential future use. After each meeting, the notes will be processed and shared with members, excluding any sensitive information, which will be restricted to Board of Directors only.
Each Board member will receive the meeting agenda and all relevant information one week prior to the meeting to allow time for review and preparation of any input or concerns regarding the agenda items.
