The board of directors of NCSTA proposes the following change to the NCSTA By-Laws.  The purpose of this change is to update existing By-Laws.  Please review this change and vote to accept/reject this amendment during the upcoming NCSTA elections.

 

Amend Article V by replacing 'The immediate Past President of the Association will serve as the Parliamentarian for the Board.' with 'The Parliamentarian for the Board will be appointed by the President.'

 

CURRENT WORDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT NEW WORDING
The immediate Past President of the Association will serve as the Parliamentarian for the Board. Replace 'The immediate Past President of the Association will serve as the Parliamentarian for the Board.' with 'The Parliamentarian for the Board will be appointed by the President.' The Parliamentarian for the Board will be appointed by the President.

 

Rational: 

To be a parliamentarian requires a basic knowledge of parliamentary procedure.  This may or may not be the case for every immediate Past President.  However, another board member may have the appropriate knowledge and could serve in this position.
