 Motion to revise the Board of Director (BoD) positions:

•  Current:

President, 1^st Vice-President, 2^nd Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer & 7 Directors, one of which is Past President

• Replace with:

President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer & 8 Directors, one of which may be Past President and one of which may be Community Engagement Coordinator

• Background:  The BoD membership change above was previously approved via Resolution, but unfortunately not documented at the Societies office.  The inclusion of a Community Engagement position meets the goal to ‘foster the growth of community spirit’.
