The
IAAO Board of Directors is requesting the membership ratify additions
to the IAAO bylaws. The proposed bylaw amendments are primarily
procedural in nature but impact the ability of the board to establish
councils and affinity groups. Any updates to IAAO bylaws must be voted
on by IAAO members.
The
proposed updates must be approved by a majority of IAAO Regular Members
casting ballots and at least 5% of Regular members must vote in the
election to constitute a quorum.
Bylaw additions
The
updates resulted from a review of the bylaws by the Governance
Committee. The additions would add the following to the bylaws:
•
Section 9.4. Councils: The Board of Directors may establish councils.
The Board of Directors shall determine the scope of the council, its
organization, its responsibility, and its specific charge.
• Section 9.5. Affinity Groups: The Board of Directors may establish
affinity groups. An Affinity Group is a voluntary membership group that
is based on a shared experience, common goal/purpose, and/or special
interest.

The
election will take place with Intelliscan, the same firm that has
handled past IAAO elections, and they will email ballots to regular IAAO
members during the election. To ensure that you receive the email
ballot, add Intelliscan's new email address to your safe senders list - IAAO@intelliscanvotes.com.
