Board to consider IRE bylaws change

The IRE Board of Directors will consider changes to the organization’s Code of Bylaws relating to the executive committee election procedures at its next meeting at 10 a.m. ET on February 23, 2024, which will be held virtually.

Section 6.03. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors for the election of officers, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held either conjointly with, or immediately after adjournment of, the annual meeting of the Members of the Corporation, when the latter is held as specified in Section 5.04 of the Bylaws. No notice shall be necessary for the holding of the annual meeting of the Board of Directors. If the annual meeting is not held as above provided, the election of officers may be held at any subsequent meeting of the Board as adjourned or specially called. (Amendment adopted 2/13/81.)

Section 7.01. Number, Qualification, and Term. Beginning with the officers elected at the June 2006 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the executive committee of the Board of directors shall consist of five Directors, including the president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary. The remaining member of the Executive Committee shall be a director elected by a majority vote of the Board. The president shall be chairman of the Executive Committee. The members of the Executive Committee shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation successors are elected. The immediate past president – to the extent possible – shall serve in an advisory role to the board. (Amendment adopted 2/13/81; a second amendment adopted 9/9/04.)

As prescribed in the bylaws, IRE members will have at least 30 days before the meeting to submit comments about the proposed change. Any comments or questions may be submitted via board@ire.org. Please submit your feedback by February 21.
