CCA Executive Board voting – 2023
CCA Elections By-Laws state:
“3.4 Elections. Elections shall be held during the month of October of the calendar year. A new Board of Directors shall be selected by majority vote of the members present. Members’ votes are based on the type of membership they purchase. An Individual membership gets 1 vote. A family membership gets a maximum of 2 votes and both of the people voting must be present at the election. Family memberships must reside under one roof. There are a maximum of 2 votes per household even if there are multiple types of memberships in the same house.”
“9.2 Elections and Term. The officers designated here shall remain in office for a period of two years from the January of the year following the most recent Board election, and transfer of authority to new BOD members takes place by the 2nd Saturday in January with a transition period between October and January.”
The pandemic of the past several years has thrown the election schedule into turmoil, as in-person meetings had been cancelled and those that were rescheduled were sparsely attended as compared to past club meetings. The CCA Club (Club) has had several critical vacancies for several years now, and the current President/Treasurer has decided to step down. This provides opportunities for others to lead and serve the Club into the future.
In this light, the current Board of Directors in a Board meeting held on 1/8/2023, has decided to hold a one time, “out-of-schedule” election, to be held at the currently scheduled February 2023 Club meeting to assure adequate time is provided for transfer of knowledge and experience from the existing President/Treasurer to new Board members. In addition, there is a vacant At Large position. The new Board members can assume their positions immediately so that knowledge transfer from existing Board members can occur. The new Board can then work to reinstate the By-Laws voting schedule as well as address Big Fish Deal and other important Club business.
6.4 President. The President shall be the principal executive officer of the Association and shall preside at all meetings of the organization and of the Board of Directors. They shall be authorized to sign checks, drafts, and other orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued in the name of the Association.
