• Notice of Proposed Bylaw Change

    Notice to TAS Members:

    The Angelfish Society Bylaws Committee has put forth a proposal to amend the bylaws regarding the minimum for a proper quorum. This change is being recommended to help the organization be able to conduct business due to going over a year with not quorum to conduct business. The Board of Directors and Officers are endorsing this proposal to reduce the minimum required for a quorum to 15. This change will be put to vote at our next meeting, scheduled on Sunday, April 21, 2013

    Current Bylaw that would be affected if proposal is adopted:

    ARTICLE III: Meeting and Voting

    Section 1. TAS Membership Meetings:

    Membership Meeting of TAS shall be held each month at an on-line location to be determined by the Board of Directors. The quorum for such meetings shall be 25% of the members in good standing or 20 members, which ever is the smaller number.

    Section 2.
    Special TAS Membership Meetings:

    c.Shall be called by the Secretary upon receipt of a petition signed by ten members of TAS who are in good standing. Copies of the petitions must be sent to all BOD members.

    d. Such special membership meetings shall be held at the location determined for the regular meetings. No other TAS business may be transacted thereat. The quorum for such meetings shall be 25% of the members in good standing or 20 members, which ever is smaller.
