This bylaw change will be presented to the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation Delegate Meeting

Proposed INC bylaw change:

Several years ago, INC instituted two-year terms of office for board members with a three-term limit. The purpose of the proposed change is to roll back the consecutive term limits to two consecutive terms to promote fresh voices and prevent staleness in the organization. We are also removing unnecessary wording in one section.

Current bylaws:

ARTICLE VI – OFFICERS

1. The body of officers shall be called the Board of Directors (BOD).

1. Officers of INC shall be: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and five (5) Delegates-at-Large.

2. Officers shall be elected for two-year terms, at the annual meeting by the delegation, and shall serve no more than three (3) two-year terms.

3. Current terms served prior to the bylaw changes of 2014 do count toward the three consecutive terms that can be served.

4. The president, secretary and three (3) delegates-at-large will be elected in even-numbered years.

5. The vice-president, treasurer and two (2) delegates-at-large will be elected in odd-numbered years.

6. Officers shall assume their duties at the close of the annual meeting at which elected.
