That is true if you ignore the provision that says, "Officers shall serve a two year term" and, even though that provision wasn't changed, read it to say, "Officers shall serve a term of two years and ten months."
We intended to move the election back by four months. That's clear. We just forgot to change the word "even" to "odd" and it seems there should be an easy fix for that. Especially as that would result from moving the election date back by four months.

1 hour ago, Hieu H. Huynh said:
Do the bylaws provide that the officers serve "until their successors are elected"?
The closest to that is: "The newly elected officers and representatives will begin office immediately following the election."
We made a bylaw change but failed to change related provisions

I understand and accept what you say. But can you explain to me why, it seems, you give greater weight to the provision requiring elections in even years than you do to another provision that provides for two year terms (and not two years, ten months)?
Again, my apologies for being thick on this point, but one change is there because of the wishes of the members while the other remains because nobody read very well.
