[here]
to read the bylaws.
ANAS MEMBER INPUT NEEDED
Please read these suggested changes to the ANAS By-Laws. They will be voted-on at the Annual Business Luncheon next April. Notice of the proposed changes was distributed to the Membership earlier this Month (March, 2006).
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE ANAS BY-LAWS
(new ANAS officer)
This amendment to the bylaws will add to the Board of Governors
the position of "Webmaster" with voting privileges and the following
specific duties. Voting yes for this proposition will change
articles 5.10 and 5.30 (deleted text is crossed out and added
text is underlined and in bold).
5.10 -- The officers of the Academy who also constitute the Board of Governors, shall be the President, President-elect, Past President, Corresponding Secretary, Membership Secretary, Treasurer and four regional Directors, The Editor of Journal, The Editor of the Newsletter, The Editor of the Proceedings, and the Permanent Secretary and the webmaster.
5.30 -- An Editor of the Journal, Historian, Editor of the Newsletter, Editor of the Proceedings, and a Science Olympiad Representative, and a webmaster, shall be appointed by the Board of Governors and shall hold office for three years, or until replaced by their successors
7.50 -- WEBMASTER
7.51 - The webmaster will select a web-hosting service and maintain the ANAS web page.
7.52 - The webmaster will maintain the ANAS listserv, maintain the Newsletter, Proceedings and Journal pages, and facilitate electronic publishing of JANAS.
7.53 - The webmaster will post and maintain the membership directories, annual meeting forms, scholarship forms, award forms, dues renewals, and other membership documents.
The second change will allow the passage of items by absentee vote by the board members,
in the event that the number of voting members present does not constitute a quorum.
8.40 -- A majority of the Board of Governors shall constitute a quorum, but any officer holding more than one office shall have only one vote. In the event the number of voting officers present at a meeting of the Board of Governors is less than a quorum, business may nonetheless be conducted, with any pending motions or other votes sent to all absent members by the recording secretary for their vote. The votes will then be received and counted by the recording secretary and added to the votes of the members present at the meeting. The President will then declare each measure to pass or fail and announce the results to all voting members of the Board of Governors.

affilisted with the National
Speleological Society.
