Dear all,
I hope everyone has had a good second week back. This week I am presenting a few changes I believe our organization needs.
Compared to my first year with ******, it seems as though this past semester much of the power has been removed from the organization, specifically from the members. What is a student organization if its members dont have power? Nothing.
I have attached a few constitutional amendments to this email. With these small changes ****** will become the organization we all want. I personally believe that we as an organization are capable of amazing feats but only if we can make decisions.
In the first part of the amendment titled Executive decisions I am trying bring more decision making power to our members and our organization. The first line is saying that all decisions will be brought to the executive board members. The executive board members will then decide to accept, deny, or bring to vote the issue. Now say the executive board members decide to accept it and a member does not agree. They then can bring the issue to vote. Notice how members are in full control? The first line is there to eliminate the need for a vote on things such as what color paper the agenda should be on or other things of that nature. The second part (ARTICLE VIII) is similar to the first but referring to responsibilities.
By this point I hope I have your full support. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me. Phone call, text message, email, etc. To verify that every member has received this email, please respond to this email.
I sincerely hope this does not come across as a coup d'état. It is merely a means to clarify what our stance is as members.
I am, your most humble and obedient servant,
