The Governance Committee and the Board of Directors perform periodic reviews of CMG's bylaws to help fine-tune the requirements of the organization. This year, the focus was tied to succession planning and the availability of candidates for both director and officer positions. Changes include but are not limited to:
Changes to the minimum and maximum size of the Board
Eliminate verbiage regarding the Advisory Council Chair - the Board voted two years ago to eliminate that position
Modification of term limits to more clearly reflect current nominations/elections practices. This includes allowing individuals who have served as CMG President to run for that position again.
Requiring Treasurer to meet the criteria that other officers must meet in support of the line of succession should the President and Vice President be unable to fulfill the President position.
Removal of the Past President position - this allows the Board to reduce its size while allowing the Past President to be an invited guest instead of a voting Board member
