By-Laws Revision
Results
Earlier this month, members received information in the mail about suggested changes to the Chamber of Commerce By-Laws dealing with the election process for directors on the board. Each member received a ballot to reply with a vote to approve, or not, the proposed changes.
Members replied the week of May 9th and 95% of the returned ballots were in favor of the changes.
The new election process will be implemented soon, with a call for nominations to begin the first week of June.
As a Chamber member, you are invited to join in this process! Take some time to begin thinking about who you know that fits this description:
- an active member of the business
community and the Chamber
- dedicated to Washington County, Texas
- a decision maker in his or her field
- interested in serving as a volunteer
- a person with vision; a leader
- good communication skills
- able to attend monthly board meetings, held the 3rd Wednesday of
the month at noon
Each year, seven new directors are needed to serve a three-year
term.
Please submit nominations to the Chamber office in writing from June 1 through July 31.
Thank you!
