Respectfully submitted by Euem C. Osmera, Chair
MCMLA Bylaws Report
There were no bylaws changes this year; however, the committee worked with the MCMLA Parliamentarian representative on a position paper on requirement for Chapter Standing Committee Chairs. Nancy Woelfl drafted the paper with help from Jackie Hittner, past-Chapter Chair; Jeanne Burke, Chapter Council to MLA and Euem Osmera, Bylaws chair.
The position paper was discussed at the August 13, 2018 Executive Board meeting; the board suggested membership should vote on whether if they agree or not with ‘requirement of Chapter Standing Committee Chairs’ be members of MLA at the 2018 Virtual Annual Meeting.
If the votes are in favor of the position paper, which states that Chapter Standing Committee Chairs shall not be a member of MLA, MCMLA Chapter then will draft a template letter, and sends it to other Chapters in the country to drum up support before taking the paper to MLA.
Euem Osmera, Bylaws chair, recruited three new members, Christian Minter, Danielle Drummond, and Sally Swogger, to the committee and appointed Christian Minter as Vice-Chair of the Bylaws Committee.
