[CW] notes of interest

[Anthony W. DePrato]

makes some interesting reading.

17. Each director shall keep himself informed as to conditions and 
activities in his territorial division and as to the needs and desires of 
the members therein in order that he may faithfully and intelligently 
represent the true interests of such members. He shall attend all meetings 
of the Board. At least 14 days prior to each annual meeting of the Board of 
Directors each director is encouraged to file with the Secretary a written 
report on the status of the affairs of the League in his division, together 
with a statement of his recommendations as to any actions required for the 
effective administration of the objectives and affairs of the League.



24. In accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Articles of 
Association, members of a territorial division may petition for recall of 
the director of their division. Any League member may give notice of 
proposed recall by mailing to the Secretary by certified mail a letter to 
that effect. The fact of receipt will be communicated only to Officers, the 
Director concerned, the sender and the Election Committee. The recall 
petition shall be presented to the Secretary not later than 75 days after 
the mailing of the notice of recall and not later than June 1st of the 
final year of the term of office. A valid petition shall contain the dated 
signatures obtained on or after the date of mailing of the notice to the 
Secretary, and will include not less than 10 percent of the number of Full 
members voting in the election at which the director was elected or not 
less than 10 percent of the Full members resident in the division on the 
preceding December 31st if the director was elected without membership 
balloting. Upon certification by the Election Committee that the petition 
is valid, the Secretary shall prepare a ballot asking the single question, 
"Shall the Director be recalled, yes or no." If a majority of the votes 
cast are for recall, then the office of director shall be declared vacant. 
No director shall be subject to more than one recall election during a 
single term of office. A person removed from office by recall, shall not be 
eligible to be a candidate for Director or Vice Director for three years 
following removal from office.


26. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may consider or act upon 
only those matters which are set out in the request provided for in Article 
4 of the Articles of Association. The call for any such meeting shall 
specify the matters to be considered.
as

now this one if find a little on the weird side as it seems to me the CEO 
is telling the BOD what to do this day and time.


36. The Board of Directors shall employ an Executive Vice President who 
shall hold office for such term and upon such compensation as the Board and 
he may agree upon. The Executive Vice President shall manage the affairs of 
the League under the direction of the Board of Directors. He shall be 
deemed a member of the Board, but without vote. He shall attend all Board 
meetings. He shall be in responsible charge, under the Board of Directors, 
of all property of the League and shall keep full records. He shall, under 
the general direction of the Board of Directors, employ such personnel as 
may be necessary for the effective accomplishment of the purposes of the 
League. He shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the League. He shall 
prepare and submit at each Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors a 
comprehensive report of the progress and status of the affairs of the 
League and shall furnish to the Board of Directors from time to time such 
financial information and statements as may be required. He shall perform 
such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors. His 
entire time shall be devoted to the duties as set forth above. He shall 
furnish a bond satisfactory to the Board of Directors, the expense of the 
same to be borne by the League.
