Proposed amendment to IRE bylaws

(March 24, 2025) – The Board of Directors will discuss a change to Article 10 of the organization’s Code of Bylaws at its April 18, 2025, meeting. 

The Governance Committee will meet on April 4, 2025, and will be reviewing the proposed update to the bylaws, and will advise the Board. 

Proposed Amendment: 

“The Endowment Funds are monitored by a Finance Committee that is chaired by the Treasurer and includes six other members of IRE, including one Director. That Director and two of the other members are nominated by the President; the others are nominated by the Treasurer. All are nominated after the annual officer elections and must be approved by the IRE Board. One of the six nominees may be a financial professional who is not an IRE Member. The others must be IRE Members. They serve for two-year terms. The Finance Committee works on fundraising, oversees ongoing revenues and expenses, monitors the Endowment Funds and advises the Board on investment practices.”
