Bylaws Are Done! Whew!

Well it was quite the challenging business session, but we finally made it through, thank goodness. For those of you wondering, the results were:

Amendment 1 (allowing board to do business by email): PASS
Amendment 2 (allowing Board to set rules for campaigning): FAIL
Amendment 3 (sanctions for violating rules): PASS (after amending to strike the phrase "to a lifetime ban from seeking office in all future elections).
Amendment 4 (stating that Nominations Committee enforces rules): PASS
Standing Rule Amendment 1 (to remove current campaigning rules): FAIL (as a result of amendment 2 failing)
Standing Rule Amendment 2 (allowing 30 day overlap of terms): PASS

The voting had a second ballot (but you'll have to find out from someone else who the two candidates were). Official results come out tomorrow as to who won the elections.

Two motions were submitted for consideration:

1) A motion requesting that guidelines be created to define "misconduct"

2) A motion requesting that online chapter registration be provided to all chapters.

These two motions will be voted on tomorrow.

Our keynoter was fabulous. Unfortunately the pictures I took of him were lousy... :)

Off to bed now... Have to be up in about five hours to host interchapter brainstorming breakfast!
