The Community Review Board voted to amend its draft bylaws to make clear that all board officers shall be elected from the board membership.
The amendment to Article 6, Section 1 removes language that would have allowed the chair to appoint other officers. The revised section enumerates the officers as chair, first vice chair, second vice chair and secretary and states the officers shall be elected from board membership.
Why it matters: The change clarifies internal governance and preserves an established practice the board said had been followed historically. A board member noted the prior draft language was inconsistent with past practice.
Board action: A motion to approve the bylaws draft with the amendment passed on a voice vote; the board recorded that the motion carried and that the amendment corrected an error in the draft.
