2002-07: Voting at Membership Meetings
Whereas all members of the NFB:AE are unable to attend membership meetings for geographic, health and financial reasons; and
Whereas a goal of the NFB:AE is to facilitate membership participation at membership meetings; and
Whereas some members of NFB:AE have expressed dissatisfaction with the current proxy system as the sole voting system to be used when members may not attend a membership meeting:
Be it resolved as follows:
- That the board of directors of NFB:AE shall form a committee to consider alternative voting systems to be used at membership meetings.
- The committee shall be provided appropriate funding to meet and to research this matter by considering all reasonable alternatives to or additions to the current proxy voting system.
- That the committee shall submit its report at the 2003 membership meeting of the NFB:AE and arrange for the submission of all necessary by-law amendments required in accordance with the organization's by-laws.
