MAS Elections Meeting
Thursday, December 5th

The December MAS Monthly Meeting will be a business meeting where the membership elects a new President, Secretary, and Board Member at Large #1. In addition there will be a BYLAWS Amendment on the ballot to be approved. The amendment will request approval to change the Bylaws quorum requirements for all MAS Business meetings, including Election meetings, from the current 10% to “50 members or 10%, whichever is less.” The quorum remains at 10% until this ballot measure passes.

Business meetings require 10% of the total membership of the club to have a quorum. Currently that is about 75 members. Although this includes both in-person and online participants, we continue to struggle getting the requisite number of members attending to meet the quorum.

Please spread the word and encourage your fellow members to join us at the December meeting, either in-person or online. This is an important meeting.  More information will be provided in the coming weeks.
