There will also be a discussion of an amendment to the bylaws that would give chairs and co-chairs of standing subcommittees a vote at steering committee meetings. We will NOT be voting in that amendment in this meeting, just discussing it. Please go to the website (www.omvna.org) for more info.

Also, please send me (robert.cox@intel.com) any items of interest you would like to discuss at the annual meeting by Friday, December 8, at 5PM, so that I may include them on the agenda. 

We typically provide an overview of the years’ OMVNA activity, a review of key neighborhood development projects and state legislation affecting our neighborhood, and a treasurer’s report at the annual meeting.

Looking forward to seeing many of you there, in our virtual forum!

Robert Cox, OMVNA Vice Chair

Proposed Amendments to Bylaws

These amendments are being presented for approval by the general membership at the 2024 Annual General Meeting or a Special General Meeting in the new year. The new proposed amendments were written to provide more voting voices for business presented at Steering Committee meetings. Additionally, the amendments are written to provide clarity as to who has a vote regarding specific steering committee business. Please see the amendments as presented.

  • Standing subcommittees will be established for a specific ongoing purpose by a majority of the steering committee.  They may also be disbanded by a majority vote of the steering committee.  These are distinct from ad hoc committees, which are established for a specific short-term purpose and disbanded when that purpose is accomplished or abandoned. When any subcommittee is established, a chair or co-chairs for the subcommittee will be approved by the steering committee. Vacancies in the chair or co-chair of any subcommittee may be filled by a vote of the steering committee.
  • At steering committee meetings, votes may be taken on items as a part of conducting business. The voting members at will be the steering committee members, standing subcommittee chairs and co-chair and co-chairs. Each voting member will have one vote, regardless of the number of steering committee, standing subcommittee chair or co-chair positions he or she holds. A quorum (which is at least half) of the voting members must be present to conduct a vote.
  • All members of all subcommittees, whether standing or ad hoc, including the chair and co-chair, will serve without compensation.
  • All decisions on allocation of funds at a steering committee meeting must be approved by a majority of the voting members.

The current by-laws can be read on www.omvna.org/about-omvna/by-laws
