FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION – POSSIBLE BY-LAWS CHANGE
The AAF-BR board asks you to consider the possible change to Article III Section 3 of the club’s by-laws.
ARTICLE III SECTION 3 CURRENTLY READS:
Company Membership: Only those companies with three (3) Full Memberships shall qualify for discounted dues for each additional member. In addition, any organization holding a Company Membership will be allowed to bring an unlimited number of guests to any monthly membership meeting at a reduced guest fee. A company shall be defined for terms of membership as a single budgetary unit. If any company employee who holds a Full Membership is unable to attend a monthly program meeting or special event (excluding special ticketed events), he/she may send a representative in his/her place. The representative must be employed be the same employer as the member, and the representative may attend the function at no charge, just as the member would.
IF CHANGED, THE NEW BY-LAW WOULD READ:
Company Membership: Only those companies with three (3) Memberships shall qualify for discounted dues. In addition, any organization holding a Company Membership will be allowed to bring an unlimited number of guests to any monthly membership meeting at a reduced guest fee. A company shall be defined for terms of membership as a single budgetary unit. If any company employee who holds a Company Membership is unable to attend a monthly program meeting or special event (excluding special ticketed events), he/she may send a representative in his/her place. The representative must be employed be the same employer as the member, and the representative may attend the function at no charge, just as the member would.
WHAT WOULD THE CHANGE MEAN TO YOU?
As the by-law currently reads, the club’s “Company Membership” price discount doesn’t kick-in for a company’s employees until after the third employee listed on the roster. This means that a company’s first three employees listed on the roster are invoiced at the “Full Membership” price and then the fourth listed employee, and all company employees listed after, receive the “Company Membership” discount.
If the by-law is changed, all listed employees of a company designated as “Company Membership” (three or more employees of the same company) are invoiced at the “Company Membership” discounted price.
As a club, we will vote on this possible change at the November 1 luncheon/speaker series
A “yes” vote means you approve of the change
A “no” vote means you do not approve of the change
