Membership committee

The Membership Committee shall be responsible for collecting nominations for the Board of Directors election as well as overseeing the voting process. This includes distributing ballots to the general membership, tabulating, and communicating results to the MDCGC membership. In the event of an unexpected Board of Director vacancy, this Committee will be responsible for selecting an interim Board Member until a vote by the general membership is completed. No Board of Director member can serve on this committee. If a member of The Membership Committee is nominated for the Board of Directors, their membership of this committee is immediately terminated. They may rejoin this Committee if they are not voted onto the Board of Directors.

The Membership Committee shall be responsible for editing and updating the Bylaws as necessary in collaboration with the Board of Directors. The Committee does not have the authority to change the Bylaws; Bylaws may only be amended by two-thirds majority vote of the Board. However, the Committee will be responsible for periodically reviewing Bylaws and drafting proposed amendments for review by the Board. The Committee will collect and organize any public comments on the Bylaws or suggestions for amendments made by the General Membership outside of specific open comment periods. For any proposed change to the Bylaws, the Committee will create an open comment period for the General Membership to comment on proposed changes and organize all comments for the Board to take into consideration in the final vote.

The Secretary will be the Board of Directors liaison to the Membership Committee.
