Other, less-significant changes would:
- Change the number of candidates that shall be nominated for each district in which a Director is to be elected to a minimum of one and a maximum of three from that District in cases where no one else from that District submits interest in being considered for nomination. Previously, the Nominating Committee was required to nominate either two or three, and this created serious problems in some of the smaller districts, where it is frequently the case that only one member wishes to run for the district’s Board seat. This change will not affect the process for elections and nominations in larger districts where a number of members typically run for Board seats.
- Define those employees for which the Board of Directors is required to set the powers, duties, and compensation to the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel. This change creates consistency throughout the Bylaws and VEA policy implementing the Bylaws.
