DGA 2022 Annual Meeting Information
If you have a proposal for the meeting – please only send it to Mike and Jim by 3-15. This will allow the rookies to assemble it into the package and ask clarifying questions if necessary.
The submitted proposals will be sent out to everyone by Thursday 3-17.
Proposals-
- State your proposal
- Explain why you are submitting it
Last year’s proposals are on the website – you can see what was submitted by going to the Info and Rules section of the website under 2021 along with the current rules package.
Meeting Process:
- There must have a quorum of active members to consider any new proposals. To have a Quorum, 50% or more of the Active Members must be in attendance either in person or via an approved remote access application such as Zoom.
- The person submitting the proposal to explain their rationale before any questions or rebuttals are submitted. Roberts Rules of Order state:
- One person speaks at a time.
- Discussion normally should be completed in 5 minutes or so but can go longer if this is a complicated proposal
- No amendments are allowed until a proposal is seconded and voted upon.
- Once a proposal has been proposed and seconded, a vote will be taken. 2/3 of the Active Members present must vote to approve the proposal for it to be enacted. If the result of 2/3 of the Active Members present is not a whole number round up to nearest whole number (i.e. if 25 active members are present, 2/3 = 16.66 becomes 17 votes needed for approval).
- All approved proposals will be documented and incorporated into the rules package and the website will be updated.
Additional Notes on Voting Eligibility:
- If you have not paid your 2021 losses prior to the meeting, you cannot vote. Reminder that your 2022 dues need to be paid by April 1st.
- If you are electing lifetime status, this must be submitted prior to the meeting – lifetime members cannot vote.
