NAAA Sends Proposed Bylaw Amendments to Voting Members

Later this summer NAAA voting members will receive an electronic ballot via email to go to a secure website to vote on these proposals.

NAAA sent a mailing out to its voting members this week informing them of proposed amendments to its Bylaws that the Board approved for voting member consideration at the spring meeting held in February.  The proposed amendments have been designed to better clarify and streamline the association’s governance. The proposals also develop membership categories and oversight committees to best represent the modern aerial application industry, including specifying the inclusion of firefighters, public health applicators and aerial foresters, in addition to including a category for those conducting aerial imaging missions.

 

The changes, if approved, will augment membership and resources directed to the association to better provide the industry with policy advocacy, public relations, education, communication and networking services. Later this summer NAAA voting members will receive an electronic ballot via email to go to a secure website to vote on these proposals.

 

Before voting, however, notice must be given to the membership of these proposed changes as called for under Article XI AMENDMENTS–Section 1 of NAAA’s Bylaws, which states a “mailing with the proposed amendments [must be provided] to each voting member at least thirty (30) days before voting commences.” Once NAAA voting members receive notice via email of the electronic solicitation for votes by ballot on the proposed amendments, the time for voting members to cast their votes will be thirty (30) days. For an amendment to be considered approved, the number of ballots returned must equal or exceed the number of voting members that would be required to establish a quorum, and at least a majority of those voting members casting a ballot must vote in favor of the amendments. NAAA will keep members posted as to when the voting will begin.
