Bylaws, Rules, and Periodic Review – Updates from Standards and Practices Julie Adams, ASCCC Executive Director Craig Rutan, ASCCC South Representative 2015 ASCCC Spring Plenary Session

Overview ASCCC a Nonprofit Organization Summary of Bylaws Revisions Summary of Rules Revisions Periodic Review of ASCCC

Why Change the Bylaws? The last major revision was 2003! ASCCC has changed in the last 12 years and the bylaws need to support our work and be in alignment with legal requirements.

Revision Process Initial review by legal counsel to recommend changes to align with nonprofit law and corporations code Standards and Practices review each article to determine if: – the existing language makes sense – if anything is missing and needs to be added – if the practices defined by the bylaws are effective for the current needs of ASCCC

Revision Timeline Legal review and initial planning – July 2014 S&P begins revisions – Sept – Oct 2014 Draft presented at fall plenary – Nov 2014 Feedback from plenary discussed and first draft completed – Dec 2014 Draft reviewed by Executive Committee – Jan 2015 Draft sent to body for feedback – Feb 2015 Feedback incorporated and final draft completed by S&P – Feb 2015 Executive Committee approves sending revisions forward to the body for adoption – Mar 2015 Breakout and adoption – April 2015

ASCCC Is Not Like a Local Senate Local senates are created by each district’s Board of Trustees – ASCCC was created by the faculty ASCCC is a nonprofit organization with a 2 million dollar budget and ~ 10 employees. The Executive Director is selected by the board and is the interface between the elected board and the employees.

Board of Directors? Executive Committee has been replaced by Board of Directors in the bylaws only. A board of directors is a body of elected or appointed members who jointly oversee the activities of an organization. Board members have a fiduciary responsibility – to steer the organization towards a sustainable future – adopt sound governance and financial management policies – Ensure adequate resources – Hire an executive director to run the day-to-day management activities of the organization.

But Why Change? The simple answer is because of the way the law is written. When reviewing laws that ASCCC is subject to, the term Executive Committee refers to a subset of the Board that can be empowered to act between meetings. This is how the officers act now. The bylaws are a legal document and it is important that they clearly align with nonprofit law in case of legal action against ASCCC

Do We Call You the Board of Directors? No! The Board of Directors will still be referred to as the Executive Committee on the ASCCC website, in policy, and in discussions with our system partners. This is a wording change to protect the elected representatives, but it does not change anything for the body.

Removing Executive Committee Members Executive Committee members are representatives of the organization and need to act in accordance with policy, legal requirements, and adopted positions. The revisions add the ability for delegates to recall a member and for a member to be removed for not fulfilling their obligations

Term of Office Newly elected members of the Executive Committee begin serving at orientation at the end of May. Since Executive Committee members begin their work after orientation, we have changed the term of service to run from June 1 until May 31.

Changes to Satisfy Resolutions Resolution 1.01 Fall 2009 designated the Executive Director as an ASCCC Officer. – The Executive Director does not vote on ANY actions of the Executive Committee. Only elected members have voting rights.. All Executive Committee meetings will be held in accordance with the Senate’s Policy on Open Meetings (Adopted March 2015) – This policy was created to comply with resolution 1.03 Spring 2014.

Senate Rules Removed the duties of officers and placed them into the Bylaws. Clarified that the Vice President will assume a vacancy in the Presidency of ASCCC Added procedures for the member senates to recall a member of the Executive Committee Changed the section on standing committees to allow the Executive Committee to determine the best committee structure to address the adopted positions of ASCCC.

Periodic Review of ASCCC The periodic review process was adopted with the passage of resolution 1.02 Spring – Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges complete the selection process for the Review Task Force in Spring 2015 and undergo and complete its first periodic review by the Spring 2016 Plenary Session; The review team will be composed of 10 attendees of ASCCC events The review team recruitment is already underway. The revised bylaws, rules, policy, and an internal evaluation by the Executive Committee will be provided to the review team. The internal evaluation will be completed by Executive Committee members in May 2014.
