  1. At the beginning of the House of Delegates (HOD), the credentials report is read and then adopted as the official roll of the HOD. At this point, just prior to the adoption of the report, no one is certified as a delegate, not even the members of the Committee on Credentials, Rules and Order. How can a vote occur if no member is a certified delegate? The Bylaws state only registered and certified are eligible to vote in the HOD. Essentially, non-certified members of the organization, because they are not yet members of the HOD, are adopting a report to create the body of membership for the HOD. How do you think this issue should be addressed, if at all? I researched this topic but have yet to find an answer to my question. I apologize if this has been previously addressed, but I failed to find any references to the topic. Thank you! Clyde Waggoner

  4. Our bylaws delineate standing committees in a separate chapter and list chairs, members, ex officio, etc. The president appoints all committee members that are not ex officio. We have an editorial board which has it's own chapter in the bylaws and is not included in our society committees section. The members of our editorial board are all ex officio members consisting of our two editors for our two publications and the treasurer. The two editors report to the BOD. The president wants to appoint additional members to the editoral board for additional oversight. However, the editors both say they are not a committee and therefore, the president can not appoint additional members to the board without an amendment to the bylaws. Additionally, the president states that he will then appoint an ad hoc committee with with the charge of approving all articles and publications of both publications. The editors say they have editoral freedom from such oversight. So my question is, how is the editoral board classified? There is nothing additional in the bylaws to assist in answering this question. Thank you! Clyde
