The following items were adopted at the General Membership Meeting, October 2021.

Item #1: The Club adopted the following proposal as a move toward a paid manager model of operations.
Proposed Timeline:
 
2022 – Club moves to an 11-member executive board of directors with Tracy Million Simmons acting as President and Manager with compensation as follows:
  • $200/month to be paid quarterly (Total $2,400)
  • Plus year-end bonus of 5% of income earned from member dues and renewals
    • 25% of member dues currently goes to districts & 3% of member dues currently goes to “seed money” for convention planners. The addition of 5% going to payment of a manager would leave 67% of membership fees to go toward operating expenses for the Club.
  • For 2022, this would be a Contract position (no withholding or tax responsibilities incurred by the Club).
​ 
2023 – Club moves to a part-time paid Manager model of business. TMS to serve either as advisor/trainer to paid Manager in this year or TMS moves into part-time Manager position alone with Kris Polansky taking over as President.

Item #2: The State Board recommends adoption of the following transitional bylaws.
This has been put in place as “transitional” in 2022 with a goal of review/revision and adoption by year-end 2022.
