Proposed standing rules with strikethroughs

AMTA Delaware Revised Standing Rules

 

Rationale for proposed changes

Revisions to Section 2 and 3 are housekeeping changes to bring the chapter Standing Rules in alignment with National Bylaws and Policy.

The revision to section 4 would change our election process from an in-person vote at our annual meeting to an online election process. We have conducted our elections in this manner the past two-years due to COVID-19 restrictions on in-person meetings and have seen an increase in voter participation. Online elections provide an opportunity for all AMTA Professional Members in Delaware to vote for elected chapter board positions and delegates electronically. 

Please contact AMTA-DE Chapter President Sarah Craig at AMTADelaware@gmail.com if you have any questions about the standing rule changes.
