Proposed Changes to By-Laws:

SECTION 2.   Number, Tenure and Qualifications.   The number of directors shall be a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of nine (9).  Directors must generally be trustees or fire commissioners of member districts in good standing.  The immediate past president of the Alliance and other officers of the Alliance shall be eligible for continuing service as a director for a two-year term subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of the remaining directors.  In the event the immediate past president is unable to serve, the Board of Directors by majority vote may fill the vacancy by a trustee or commissioner of a member district in good standing. No more than two (2) directors shall be serving their district exclusively as members of the Board of Fire Commissioners.  No member district may have more than one representative serving as a director or officer.  Each director shall hold office for two years, with generally 50% of the directors to be elected at the annual meeting in odd numbered years and the remaining directors to be elected during even numbered years so as to stagger the terms of the board members. The directors’ terms of office shall commence immediately upon their election and shall serve until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.
