Officers’ Reports

 

Chairman Report presented by Mike Cromwell

·          A discussion was presented to change the bylaws to read 12 members with only eight members required to reach a quorum. A bigger BOD will be required because of the new shop. The BOD should strive but not be required to have an equal number of members from each shop in order to give equal representation to both shops.

·         The bylaws should be changed to say at least one more candidate than required.
