Bylaws revision, offered to the executive committee on June 16, 2019

———————————————————

RESOLVED, upon adoption of this resolution, the APSE bylaws shall be changed in the following manner:

  1. Under 3. OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, after Section F, add the following section:

G. Any officer, region chair or committee chair who involuntarily loses their full-time job may ask the Executive Committee for permission to continue in their role for up to six months. A two-thirds majority of those voting shall decide the issue. The officer, region chair or committee chair in question will be ineligible to vote.

If said officer, region chair or committee chair is allowed to continue in their role by the Executive Committee, he or she may not work for an employer outside the scope of APSE membership under 2 (A) of these bylaws during the six-month period. If said officer, region chair or committee chair is not employed within the scope of APSE membership under 2 (A) of these bylaws by the end of the six-month period (said period to have started on the day the person became unemployed), that person’s position shall be considered vacant.

If the APSE president is the officer in question, the first vice president will assume the powers of the president for the purposes of conducting such a vote.

  1. Re-letter the current Section G to become Section H.
