The Board of Directors is aware of concerns regarding the upcoming name change vote. Currently our by-laws require that any amendments be voted on by those present at our General Meeting. It does not allow for either online or mail-in voting. Legitimate concerns have been raised that these restrictions effectively exclude those members who could not physically attend the meeting. Therefore we have decided to first hold an in-person vote at our May 15th General meeting to amend our bylaws to allow both online and in-person voting. Then, if approved, we will hold a second vote regarding a name change using online and mail-in ballots. Per our by-laws a 2/3 (67%) vote is required for any amendments to the bylaws.
