The following is a rough draft of an amendment to the UCO Bylaws regarding term limits for the Executive Board. This matter will be brought before the Advisory Committee for their consideration. Once scheduled, the meeting time/place/location will be properly announced. All constructive comments will be appreciated. I am unable to use the proper amendment protocol (e.g. underlining for additions) in this posting, therefore bolded words are equivalent to underlining.
ARTICLE X
EXECUTIVE BOARD
D. A candidate must be a member of UCO in good standing and he must declare his readiness to serve on at least two committees in order to be eligible to stand for election or be appointed as a member of the Executive Board. There shall be term limits of two consecutive one year terms for all elected and/or appointed Executive Board Members and shall be retroactively applied and effective as of the election of March 2007. Members who have been appointed by the President are to be considered as having served a full term for the purposes of this section, regardless of the actual time served between election periods. Committee chairs and co-chairs who have been members of the Executive Board for two consecutive one year terms shall be deemed eligible to serve for a third or even a forth consecutive term, providing that they are occupying such position at the time of their election or appointment. Members who have completed their term limits must “sit out” for a minimum of one complete term before becoming eligible for election or appointment to the Executive Board. For the purposes of this section, any Officer of UCO who has been an ex officio member of the Executive Board shall be governed by the same exception provided herein for committee chairs and co-chairs.
