V.            Unfinished Business.

 

VI.       New Business

 

            A. KCALL Bylaws Revision – the following possible changes were discussed:

                 1. The Immediate Past President to automatically become head of the

                     Nomination Committee.

                 2. To streamline the Board and make it easier to serve, length of service

                     shortened.  Focus on the Immediate Past President position who's term

                     commitment is too long.  Would require bylaws change to make the

                     Immediate Past President not a member of the board.

                 3. Nonprofit status discussed.
