The recommended changes are as follows:

1.  Currently, committee chairmen are limited to serving two, one year terms.  The Bylaws would be amended to remove the term limit.

2.  The nominating committee is currently elected by the general membership.  The Bylaws would be amended to authorize the PTA President to appoint the nominating committee with the approval of the Executive Board.

3. The elected officer positions of second vice president and corresponding secretary would be eliminated.  The duties of the corresponding secretary would be assigned to the recording secretary.  The second vice president’s duties related to membership would be assigned to a standing committee of the PTA.  This change to the bylaws would not take effect until the election of officers in 2010.

4.  The Bylaws would be amended to indicate that the vice president would be expected to serve as president at the conclusion of the president’s term. This change to the bylaws would not take effect until the election of officers in 2010.
