The GCDOC board has voted to change the Bylaws Section 2 Dues. To change the Bylaws the Membership must also vote by secret ballot on the change presented by the board. Two-thirds of the membership present must vote “yes” to change the bylaws. We would like to change the word “sent” to each member to “make available” to each member and to change the days that a lapsed member can reapply to reinstate their membership from “90” to “30” days. Below is a copy of tje current Section 2 of the bylaws:
Section 2. DUES. GCDOC’s fiscal year is January 1 to December 31. The Membership year is November 1 to October 31. Membership dues shall be established by the board and shall not exceed $100 per year, payable to the Membership Chair on or before the last day of October. Dues for new members paid on or after July 1, shall carry over to the following year. No member may vote or hold office if that member’s dues are not paid for the current year. During the month of September, the Membership Chair shall send to each member a statement of dues for the ensuing year. After November 1 dues have lapsed, but members have a maximum of 90 days to reapply for membership. Such reapplying members must pay a reinstatement fee and dues as set forth in the Standing Rules.
