BYLAW UPDATE!
by Dan Totaro
As I stated in last month’s newsletter, the CAMFT Board of Directors met in Santa Barbara the weekend September 21st and 22nd for its quarterly meeting during which they approved the following motion:
“To approve the repeal of the current bylaws approved in July 2013 and reinstate the bylaws adopted in January 2009. The Board’s approval is subject to voting members' approval by ballot.”
An official ballot and booklet containing the July 2013 bylaws and the June 2009 bylaws was mailed to the Clinical membership on October 25, 2013. In the booklet, the July 2013 bylaws appear with a “repeal” watermark across the pages to indicate repeal. The June 2009 bylaws appear with a “reinstate” watermark across the pages to indicate reinstatement. A “Yes” vote on the ballot means the June 2009 bylaws will be reinstated. A “No” vote on the ballot means the July 2013 bylaws will remain in effect.
To participate in the vote, a completed, signed ballot must be received at the CAMFT office no later than December 4, 2013. A postmark date will not sufficeundefineda completed/signed ballot must be received by this date for it to be counted. Please include any written comments on a separate sheet of paper as comments on the ballot will invalidate the ballot.
It is now up to the membership to make an informed decision as to the future direction of our association. I strongly encourage each of us to give this matter our full consideration and make a choice based on what we believe is the best direction for CAMFT. I also hope that the percentage of members who vote will be the highest ever!
