From Smithson
In my role as Region 12 CBL Chair I have had a great time reviewing your online discussion of the development of SNU constitution/bylaws. it has been educational and thought provoking and I applaud your efforts to simplify. However, I do have some questions and comments.
From Smithson - SNU has chosen to incorporate a constitution and bylaws into a single document and personally I think that is a good idea, but then it seems you should call it one or the other. Regardless, Roberts allows for the creation of a single document, but does not give over control of the contents to an Executive Board. You have culled from the 2 models components to meet your interests, but these do not meet all the requirements of Ohio Corporate code nor the requirements for amending a constitution or bylaws if that is the document you are using to establish the structure of your organization.
Brian, I firmly believe that having a simplified document at all levels of WBCCI would be in the best interests of the club and its members, but we still need to meet certain basic legal requirements under Ohio Corporate Code and the model Constitution or Bylaws provided by WBCCI do so. As a chartered, unincorporated Unit the Unit needs to meet the same basic requirements.
From Smithson - The SNU document meets the needs of your Unit and has some of the simplifications WBCCI could use, but these need to be communicated to WBCCI so they can be considered and incorporated into its governing documents.
From Ortiz through Don
Jerry, I did talk with Carol Ortiz again yesterday. I told her I had reviewed her email, the WBCCI Blue Beret Constitution & Bylaws, the suggested model of unit constitution and unit bylaws and the SNU Constitution and Bylaws (CBL) and felt that our (SNU) CBL were substantially in conformance. The SNU CBL addresses all points required in the parent WBCCI bylaws for unit documents (the unit’s The Charge document also notes compliance); (a) election of officers (b) regular meetings and quorum of each, (c) a method of selecting delegate and alternate, (d) a dissolution clause in compliance with federal, state and provincial laws, (e) a method of amendment.
