The amendment addresses the following goals: * Eliminate inconsistencies within or between various articles * Reduce ambiguity * Revamp the Standing Committee structure and the roles and responsibilities of each to facilitate better operational support for the long-term health and viability of the Chorus * Improve readability * Align our board practices with best-practices of other not-for-profit 501(c)(3) Substantive changes include: 1. Reduced the membership types from three to two because the Chorus no longer sponsors scholarship students at North Central College. 2. The previous Board of Directors Article contained a number of incongruities of language and intent. Terms like Directors and Officers were used somewhat interchangeably, there were non-board member roles (Music Director) listed in this section, there was a lack of clarity in terms of which board members have voting rights. Additionally, the list of standing committees was out of date and inconsistent with not-for profit board best-practices and the functional needs of the Chorus. 3. Establishes that a Quorum is a simple majority of Voting Directors being present. 4. Election of Officers - The only substantive change is that any volunteer who wants to be considered for an Elected Officer Role must do this during the open nomination period. We can no longer accept nominations from the floor during the Annual Meeting. Open nominations may be made up to one week prior to the election. 5. Duties clarified for President, Treasurer, and Directors-at-Large. 6. Established Committee Chairs, appointed by the President at the start of the business year and be confirmed by a simple majority of the Voting Directors. It allows any Active Member of the Chorus to serve on a committee and clarifies that all Standing Committee members are part of the board but removes the prior ambiguity around voting rights by confirming that only the Standing Committee Chairs have voting rights on the board. Special Committee Chairs do not have voting rights on the board. 7. Adds a requirement that the Chorus procure appropriate fidelity and forgery insurance. 8. Establishes the requirement of a two thirds vote of the membership, the calling of a special meeting for the sole purpose to dissolve the Chorus and establishes that every reasonable attempt will be made to transfer the assets and funds to another group that satisfies the mission of Naperville Chorus.
