Bylaw Amendment(s) Up for Vote or Recent By Law Changes
Teleconferencing
as an option for representation and voting at Florida Council meetings.
Florida Council is exploring the possibility of member participation via electronic
communications. Several of IMA’s Boards,
Committees, Councils and Chapters already do this. We have a committee to
facilitate the implementation of the technical and of the mechanical
requirements. Council By-Laws need to be
amended in order for this type of representation and voting to be legal. A complete copy of the Florida Council
By-Laws can be found at http://flcouncil.org/By-Laws.php
Here is
the proposed By-Law Amendment which will be placed on the agenda for the April
21, 2012 Florida Council meeting:
Article V Meetings
Sub-Article I Attendance and voting
through electronic communications
All Florida Council
Delegates, as described in Article IV Delegates, who are unable to attend in
person a properly called meeting of the Florida Council, shall be considered to
be in attendance and eligible to vote on all matters before the Florida Council
if they have participated by simultaneous electronic communications. |
