Article 3, Section 1. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, may designate one or more committees, each of which will consist of two or more directors, which will committees, to the extent provided in said resolution and not restricted by law, will have and exercise the authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors in the management of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee will have power to (i) amend the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, (ii) adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation, or (iii) amend the Corporation’s Bylaws. A Committee established as a separate legal entity shall have the Corporation as a priority member.

The designation and appointment of any such committee and delegation thereto of authority will not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any individual director, of any responsibility imposed upon it, him or her by law. Committees where fiscal agency exists shall have at least one board member.
Subsequent re-numbering of the sections following the addition of Section 3.

Post-adjournment notes: The meeting was adjourned prior to completion of all stated agenda items due to lack of quorum by this point in the meeting. Judith Nissula and Cynda Herrick had to excuse themselves due to prior engagements that required their attendance. Another meeting will be scheduled to address the agenda item pertaining to the decisions surrounding a replacement Executive Director following Andrew Mentzer’s scheduled departure. Andrew will send out a Doodle Poll to find the most common availability of the Board during the week of May 24-28, at which time another meeting will be set.
Respectfully submitted,
