2025 Bylaw Amendment - Section 5.2

The 2025 Bylaw Amendment vote is in, and the membership overwhelmingly voted for a change. With 231 votes cast, the amendment to redraw the zones into 4 regions passed by 88.64% (195 for and 25 against).

Current Directors will continue to serve until their elected terms expire. The 2026 Board of Directors Election for 2027 will fill open positions according to the new Bylaw Amendment. To balance this transition, the Board will assign current Directors to regions aligning with their primary residence and stagger positions so that no more than three seats turn over at once.

The newly adopted Section 5.2 allows 2 Regional Directors from each region and one At-Large Director. No region may have more than 3 directors. This keeps the Board with 9 sitting members.

The revised Section 5.2 shall take effect upon passage. Again, current Directors shall continue in office until the end of their elected terms, after which future elections will be conducted according to the revised structure.
