Proposed Bylaws change to Article IV:
Lack of board participation resulting in difficulty and inability to operate the club efficiently has created a need to decrease the size of the current board from 15 to 9. Proposed changes to the bylaws follow.

Article IV: Officers and Directors.
The Officers of the Club shall be President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. These Officers shall be elected at the Club's annual meeting to a one year term.
A Board of fifteen (15) Directors shall be elected in the amount of one third of the board (or five members) at each annual meeting. The Directors shall serve a 3-2-1 year term(s).
Officers and Directors may be considered for re-election to any position after their terms are expired.
Each Director shall have one vote.
No business, unfinished or new may be taken by the board or officers unless eight (8) or more directors are present.
At the discretion of the Board any officer or Board member may be removed by a majority vote of the entire Board.
