The Bylaws Committee presents the following Bylaws Change proposals to the delegates attending the 2025 NJLP Convention.
Proposal 1. Add to Paragraph 8. Trustees at the bottom:
The State Board may appoint a Deputy Treasurer, as nominated by the treasurer, to be included as a Trustee for banking purposes only.
Bylaws Vote: 2 Aye, 0 Nay, 2 Abstention
Rationale: Banks are now not allowing anyone other than those named on the account to deposit checks, and they will not let us add anyone other than Trustees.
Proposal 2: Add a new Section 6.C.1:
Trustee candidates shall have been a member of the NJLP for a minimum of one year prior to being elected.
Rationale: As for the year of prior experience, we've had several instances where new members have been pressured into positions, they were unprepared for, only to get overwhelmed and quit. We welcome fresh members to become active ASAP, but they should start within their Regions to get used to the workload.
Bylaws Vote: 4 Aye, 0 Nay
