Haeberle Michael Mogg Anne Moss Phil Sands Patty Shutt Lucy Thornton Club officers recommend by-laws change As you know, the term of office for treasurer and secretary is from January through December, and the term for president and vice-president is from July through June. The officers and Board of Trustees of Indy Dancers recommend that the by-laws be amended to change the term of office for the treasurer and secretary to correspond with the president and vice-president s term. The change would allow the treasurer more time to prepare accounts for filing taxes. During our April business meeting, you will be asked to vote on the by-laws as amended: Offices, Terms, and Elections Four elected office positions are: a. President, who presides over all club functions. Term: July through June. b. Vice-President, who presides during any absences of the president. Term: July through June. c. Treasurer, collects dues, other monies, and keeps financial records and submits reports to the membership. Must be bonded. (Club to incur the cost of bonding) Term: July through June. d. Secretary, records minutes of all meetings and submits reports to the membership. Term: July through June." If you have any questions about this proposal, please see one of the board members. 4
