The NCBC members approved a new set of bylaws on February 14. These new bylaws call for all seven directors to be elected at the end of March to take office immediately thereafter. Annually, the seven directors will meet and select a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer from among themselves.

Three of the newly elected board members will serve 1-year terms, and the other four will serve 2-year terms. The directors this year will decide among themselves who will serve for 1 year and who willl serve for 2. If there is a problem this year, the directors receiving the most votes will be given their choice. In subsequent years, either three or four board members will be elected alternately, each for 2 years.

The bylaws are posted at this link, for logged in members only.

Paul Lauer has been named chair of the nominating committee. If you are interested in becoming a member of NCBC governing board or know of any one who is, please contact Paul at 352-683-6446.
