OFCC MEMBERSHIP AND PROPER REPRESENTATION TO BOARD MEETING/S

For the Record Only Hello Julius, Just a humble thought I want to share with you, after reading an email from a certain unit president saying that unable to attend, quote: unable to attend the meeting this time........================= This does not mean, that certain unit has no representation because the PRESIDENT [of that org] is NOT ABLE to attend.======================== I believe, for years I am with the OFCC, as served past president and served in various committees, include but not limited to Membership, Convention, Social Action and Special Projects, and currently a member of the Council of Past Presidents, I believe Unit organization has every right and privilege to be represented even though the unit president will not attend for some reason.============================ I read this article from OFCC Bylaws: Section 2,Composition, Art V-Board of Directors, page 7: in partly states....."....If a unit president is unable to attend a meeting, the unit president may appoint, by a written proxy, another officer of a unit organization to represent the unit organization and to have a voice and vote at that particular meeting of the Board of Directors......"========================================== I hope I got it correctly......means that each unit can be represented by proxy, with a written authorization. I can attest to this because that was what happened to me ; served as proxy for Annak ti Sinait...when our president was not able to attend....I always inform the secretary that I have a written authorization from our unit organization's president.================================= No one should be out of representation due to unit president inability to represent the respective unit. Let's remember the power of "Chain of command responsibility....and through proper delegation....as organization is a "community of people" not owned by one or few individuals.....================================ Suggestion ONLY: Maybe that certain information, above, as cited, will be part of Future notice/s....so may we bring more participants by proper and appropriate representation.... =========================== Subject: NOTICE OF JANUARY MEETING Dear all, Happy New Year to all! Please join us at our January Board Meeting on Sunday, January 27, 2013 FilCom Center 2 pm to 4 pm Please confirm your attendance. TO THE COMMITTEE CHAIRS: Per our OFCC President Jean Jeremiah, please prepare and submit a status report of your first 6-month term.
