To provide additional clarity, this is a local chapter of a national organization. Currently fewer than 12 members. To date, there have been mutually agreed upon decisions. Other local chapters typically meet monthly, ergo the suggestion was mutually accepted, and the recurring date was discussed and agreed upon. No vote. The Chair Pro Tem, believes that we do not need to hold elections, as those who volunteered for officers, were uncontested. The proposed financial officer has said as much. Thanks, again.

Thank you, Josh. The body is a recently chartered chapter of a national body. I suggested a bylaws Cmte to review the proposed bylaws modeled after other chapters and against the national bylaws and return a report so that we didn’t need to pour over every line. We are still reviewing and have not adopted any bylaws. There have been no motions to adopt. “Officers” were established by appointment to serve until the fiscal year starts in July. Proposed meeting schedule is monthly in keeping with precedent of other chapters. The updates, centered around a logo design, possible events and 1 upcoming event, set up of officer emails, and bank account, but from chatter in an informal electronic forum, it seems some actual decisions were made. I do not want this to become commonplace. Some of the members are very young and very excited, which is understandable, but there is very little structure. I will be the “killjoy”, once again, by asking that this practice cease. 😫
