From commodore at washingtonyachtclub.org Thu Dec 1 21:54:18 2022 From: commodore at washingtonyachtclub.org (WYC Commodore) Date: Wed Mar 20 10:15:26 2024 Subject: [WYC Announce] General Meeting Next Thursday at 7 pm: Officer Elections and By-Laws Amendments Vote Message-ID: Hi everyone, We'll be holding a general meeting next Thursday, December 8th at 7 pm: https://washington.zoom.us/j/98156665913 or call in at 206-337-9723 (Meeting Code 981 5666 5913) We will be holding Officer Elections for the roles of Co-Commodore, Vice Commodore, and Rear Commodore. Please reach out if you are interested in running for any of the positions. Nominations at the meeting and self-nominations are allowed as well. Additionally, we'll be voting on whether to adopt the proposed By-Laws and Policies document amendments that we've been working on over the last few months. With unanimous agreement from all of the officers, we have added a friendly amendment to the proposed By-Laws to describe the roles and responsibilities for a Fundraising Chair, a position that the officers feel that the club requires due to unsustainable financial shortcomings since 2017. As the Co-Commodores have the authority to create new positions as needed (per the existing By-Laws), this addition does not represent any change in the club's operational policies. No other contents of the document have changed from the version that was approved to be voted on during our previous general meeting. An updated draft of the proposed amended Policies document will be distributed later in the coming week, as some issues regarding whaler use and state law have not yet been fully addressed in the current draft. The current draft remains unchanged since it was reviewed at our previous general meeting. The proposed revisions, the existing documents, and the "diffs" can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18XtsNDMDza9ffLjsOoqxt0oRZ-KWY5iqPPqQhOk-U2s/edit Please let us know if you have any other agenda items or needs from us.

Please let us know if you would like to run for any of the positions. Nominations at the meeting and self-nominations are allowed as well. We'll be voting on whether to adopt the proposed By-Laws and Policies document amendments that we've been working on over the last few months. The sections regarding Whaler ratings and usage have been updated in the Policies such that they are now in agreement with actual club policy and state law. Minor changes were also made to clarify language and correct typos. Friendly language was added to the By-Laws to ensure state law is met when allowing an Assistant Instructor to operate a Whaler, and an incorrect reference to another section was corrected. Details can be found in the document below and will be explained in the meeting prior to a vote. The proposed revisions, the existing documents, and the "diffs" can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18XtsNDMDza9ffLjsOoqxt0oRZ-KWY5iqPPqQhOk-U2s/edit Position Holders and Fleet Captains: Please try to send us any updates, questions, or needs that you have in advance if possible. We've been trying to streamline the reports portion of our meetings by trying to collect this information in advance, but we can certainly spend time on topics if it would be helpful. Additionally, we will be approving our previously-distributed General Meeting minutes from November 21st (attached again here for your convenience).
