Bylaws Committee -- April 25, 2003
Chairperson: Myra Wright Powell (IN)
Other Committee Members Present: Emma Mahar (MI), Thalia Sipple (IL),
Tony Pluta (IL), and Jean Wright (MI, ex-officio).
Summary / Recommendations:
- Change Article III, Section I, Item #1 to read as
follows:
Those chapters in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin who have met all the criteria for a chapter in
good standing in the GREAT LAKES REGION.
A Chapter in good standing is defined as a chapter located within the
GREAT LAKES REGION which has had a representative, either in person or by
valid proxy, for at least two of the three GREAT LAKES REGION meetings
during the previous fiscal year, paid GREAT LAKES REGION dues, and is not
designated as a non-functioning chapter with Pi Lambda Theta International.
Rationale: Regional and International time lines for
requirements are not always consistent with each other and time may pass
between checking with International and the regional meeting and a chapter's
status changing during that time. We also want to encourage more
chapter involvement in the Region.
- Change Article VII, Section IV, Letter "A", Item #2 and #3 to
read as follows:
2.
Review all award nominees’ credentials and select those deserving
of: the Outstanding Service
Award(s) [1-2 given during the biennium] in the GREAT LAKES REGION, Outstanding
Young Professional Achievement Award in the GREAT LAKES REGION, Outstanding
Professional Achievement Award in the GREAT LAKES REGION, Outstanding
Pi Lambda Thetan in the GREAT LAKES REGION, and the Outstanding
Faculty Advisor in the GREAT LAKES REGION.
3.
Review the membership information for all chapters for recognition in
the GREAT LAKES REGION: Largest
Number of Initiates during the Biennium (Gold…50+ initiates; Silver…21-49 initiates;
Bronze…2-20 initiates) and Membership and Retention (Diamond…increase
of 6+ members; Ruby…maintain
same number or increase up to 5 members);
Rationale: To keep the titles of the awards consistent and
practice consistent with bylaws, we were asked to include a bylaw revision
to meet these needs.
