[board-unyoc] ACTION REQUESTED: Member at Large Question

[Irish, D Elizabeth]

Hi Denise,
No, it’s not in the Bylaws, but it’s been done to ensure equal representation in the areas, which is why a MAL from Ontario is specifically listed.

I guess my concern would be that the board is already concentrated Syracuse West/North.  Once I leave the board, and yes, the day will come, there is no one representing the Capital District area at all.  Technically there isn’t right now as I’m non-voting.

Don’t get me wrong.  We have EXCELLENT representation for all other areas, including closer to NYC.  But nothing in our area.

That said, if you can’t, you can’t.

And with more done virtually… does it matter…?

Liz

Importance: High

STOP! THINK! External Email!
Good afternoon,

While planning a call for nominations for our 2023 Executive Board, which include a call for a new Member-at-Large, East, it came to my attention that there is no evidence in the UNYOC policy or procedure manual that requires one member-at-large to represent Western New York and one to represent Eastern New York. Looking at our current and historical procedures manuals, the stipulation for our three Member-at-large positions is only that one must represent Ontario.

Can anyone on the board provide insight into the East/West requirement for the other two members-at-large? If there is no historical memory of this being an agreed up on arrangement, I would like to invite the board to consider opening our vacant member-at-large position to any person in NY, regardless of their geographic location.

I would like to distribute my call for nominations posthaste, so I appreciate any and all urgent replies to this inquiry!

Denise
