Article Transcript
Paraphrased from the ISCA Bylaws: No fewer than four (4) Directors shall comprise the Board of Directors. The Directors shall be elected each year at the Annual Member Meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Voting Members, provided that a quorum is present. Directors shall be at least twenty one (21) years of age but need not be residents of the United States (except for the office of Treasurer.) Each Director must be a Voting Member of the Corporation. No person may serve as a Director if such person has been convicted of a felony in their country of citizenship unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. The Officers of the Corporation shall be chosen by the Board of Directors and shall consist of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. No two (2) or more offices may be held by the same person. Each Officer must be a Voting Member of the Corporation. No person may serve as an Officer if such person has been convicted of a felony in their country of citizenship, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. Any existing member of the Corporation who has a membership in good standing for a minimum of one (1) year is eligible to serve as an Officer except for the office of President. The President must be an existing member of the Corporation with a membership in good standing for a minimum of two (2) years. Below is a description of each officer position made up of or chosen by the board of directors:
President: The chief executive officer
of the association. He/She holds the
responsibility of the general and active
management of the affairs of the
association, and sees that all orders and
resolutions of the Board of Directors are
carried into effect.
Vice President: Assists the President in the
management of ISCA, heads up membership
drive and assists in the planning and
operation of the annual convention. Additional
duties may include assisting with the
quarterly publication, Exaggerated Features.
The Vice President is also next in line to
ascend to the office of President in case the
sitting President is unable to complete his
or her term.
Secretary: Attends all meetings of the
Board of Directors and the members,
records all votes and actions there taken,
maintains the minutes or records of all
proceedings, and performs like duties
when requested by the Board of Directors
or the President. The Secretary shall
give, or cause to be given, notice of all
meetings of the members and special
meetings of the Board of Directors.
Treasurer: The chief financial and
accounting officer of ISCA shall have
custody of all funds and securities, shall
deposit all monies and other valuable
effects in the name and to the credit of
the Association, and shall keep full and
accurate records and books of account
of the Association. The Treasurer shall
perform these duties when requested by
the board of directors or the President,
including preparation of any accounting
of financial transactions or proposed
budget for ISCA.
As mentioned above, members choose
four (4) people to serve as the board of
directors. The Board of Directors chooses
who will serve the board as officers. In most
cases, the board will select themselves for
each office. It’s a little different than how we
have done it in the past, and it was strongly
recommended by our attorneys who are
following common law practices from most
major non-profit trade organizations. This
election will conclude at the annual business
meeting during this year’s annual convention
in Sandusky, Ohio. The new term will begin
November 13th, 2015 and last until the next
annual convention in November, 2016.
Other than President and Treasurer, most
of these positions are a minimal investment
of your time, roughly a total of 5-15
hours a month. Most of the responsibility
of the board members comes into play
at the annual convention. These responsibilities
include helping at registration
and overall assistance at the event.
Throughout the year, the President will
call on the board members for assistance
in certain projects and overall decisions
of the organization. So, if you think you
can help ISCA grow, and have a few hours
a month to spare, nominate yourself for
a position! All new board members are
guided through the operations of the
organization and trained in their position.
Show your support; join the board!
Now that you’re interested in the
prospect of supporting this tremendous
organization of ours, here’s what you do
to submit your nomination:
Submit your nominations on the forum in
the nominations thread. Make sure your
nomination is seconded. (Another member
must post their support of your nomination)
Then contact ISCA Secretary Chris
Moore at secretary.isca@gmail.com.
Nominations must be made no later than
September 1st, 2015 to qualify for the
2015-16 election.
If needed, a ballot will be printed in the
pre-convention EF for all members to
vote on and mail back to the Secretary
by the voting deadline. The top four (4)
members receiving the most votes will
become board members. Those members
who do not make the voting deadline
may still cast their ballot in person at
the annual convention during the annual
business meeting.
