    • Current bylaws have changed the terms of the four Officer and seven Board of Directors (BoD) positions. Initial term is 2 years followed by 1-year terms thereafter if the person is actively involved and attends 80% of the club meetings.  Currently all four positions are held by 1^st term 2-year commitments so they will remain the same.

      • Vice President David Vanderlinde 2^nd term
      • Treasurer Steve Durham          2^nd term
      • Secretary John Renahan           2^nd term
    • Due to the requirements of attending 80% of the meetings, a motion was made by David Vanderlinde, seconded by Traci McBride, and unanimously passed, to remove Glen Hopkins from the BoD. This opens one BoD position.
    • Todd Furber and Andy Reinhardt were nominated for the open BoD position. Todd Furber graciously declined the nomination.
