Resolutions for Changes to Multiple District 37 Bylaws

Resolution #1:

That Article II Section F 3 a.  of the Multiple District 37 Bylaws be amended by the replacement of the words “shall allow thirty (30) days” by the word “and” to read

a. Applications from candidates to fill the vacancy shall be accepted by a three member selection committee appointed by the Council.  Said committee shall be comprised of an Immediate Past District Governor, a District Governor, and a Past Council Chairperson.  The committee shall allow thirty (30) days to advertise and give notification of the vacancy, shall allow thirty (30) days  and for applications to be submitted and shall allow fifteen (15) days to review the applications and to make their recommendations to the Council.

Resolution #2:

That Article IV Section B Subsection b – Multiple District 37 Finance Committee be amended to read:

The Multiple District 37 Council of Governors, in prior consultation with the Multiple District 37 District Governors-elect shall, at its final Council meeting of the year, appoint a Multiple District 37 Finance Committee to serve in the ensuing year.  The members of the Multiple District 37 Finance Committee shall be:

·         The incoming Vice Council Chairperson (Chair of the Committee)

·         The incoming Council Chairperson

·         One incoming District Governor (vice chair of the committee)

·         One incoming 1^st Vice District Governor

These above noted Lions shall be full voting members of said committee with all rights and responsibilities as set out in the Multiple District 37 Bylaws and the Multiple District 37 Policies.  The Multiple District 37 Finance Committee shall have the responsibility of selecting one advisor to its committee from the current Multiple District 37 advisors and said advisor shall be a non-voting member of this committee.  The Multiple District 37 Secretary Treasurer shall be an ex-officio to this committee.

This is a housekeeping item to amend the Bylaws to reflect the preferred membership on the Finance Committee.

Resolution #3:

Article IV Section B 1.a.  (Multiple District Administrative Account  - Budget)

To amend the Bylaws by the elimination of the words “Multiple District Campaign Expense” and that Article IV Section H. Campaign Fund be eliminated, with the subsequent items to be renumbered accordingly.

This is a housekeeping item to address the fact that the MD Campaign Fund does not exist as a separate line item.

Resolution #4:

Article VII Section A Convention Advisory Committee

That the Multiple District 37 Bylaws be amended by the elimination of the current wording, and replacing it to read: 

The Past International Officers nearest the convention site will be appointed by Council to act as advisors to the Multiple District 37 Convention Host Committee.

This is a practical measure to have nearest Past International Officer work with the Convention Host Committee.

Resolution #5:

Article XVIII Section B  – Multiple District Hall of Fame. 

That this article be amended by deleting Subsection 1 and 2, and inserting

1. The Multiple District 37 Hall of Fame banner(s) bearing the names of inductees will be displayed at each Multiple District 37 Convention.

2. A medallion bearing the inductee΄s name, title, and year of induction shall be presented to the Hall of Fame inductee at an appropriate ceremony held during the Multiple District Convention.

This is a change to the Hall of Fame permanent recognition, from a very old cracked wooden plaque to a more portable Banner format that can easily be displayed and transported.
