*Proposed changes to the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild By Laws as presented by the Nominating Committee for 2019 year

From: the Nominating Committee: Mary Dittenber, Sarah Maseth, Kristie Jarchow
To: LMQG Membership

To give flexibility to fill positions of President, Vice President and Social Media, it may be desirable to have Co-officers to assume the responsibility of each office.  We are asking that the following revision be made to the By Laws.
We would like to submit to you in writing the following motion(s) to be placed in the guild newsletter prior to August meeting as well as on the agenda for the August meeting.

Article VI: Officers and Their Responsibilities
Section 1. Officers
a.
The Officers of the Guild's Executive Board shall be up to (2)Presidents,
(2)Vice-Presidents, (1)Secretary, (1)Treasurer, and up to (2) Social Media
Coordinators.

In adopting that article change we would also have to amend the following to:
Article VIII: Voting and Elections
Section 2: Executive Board Elections
b.
Only one vote for Secretary and Treasurer will be considered; with up to 2 votes
for President, Vice-President and Social Media Coordinator considered. (one per individual if co-position).

The nomination committee would also like to present a motion to vote for the above article changes at the same meeting in August. This will give the committee time to work with the changes and interested members if need be in order to present a slate to the membership at the Sept meeting.

Thank you,
Sarah Maseth, Mary Dittenber, Kristie Jarchow
