United Way members to vote on amendments to code of regulations

647

When the United Way of Logan County donors and volunteers gather to celebrate the 2023 Campaign at the LIVE UNITED Awards Breakfast next week, they’ll also vote on proposed changes to the organization’s by-laws.

The United Way Board of Trustees approved changes to update a number of policies last summer. But amendments to the organization’s Code of Regulations requires a majority vote at an annual meeting of membership.

Members will gather at 8 a.m. at Green Hills Foundation Hall in West Liberty on Tuesday, Jan. 30, to recognize corporate partners for their philanthropic achievements over the last year.

The vote on the amendments to the Code of Regulations will occur during the program.

The proposed amendments to the Code of Regulations include:
• Defining “members” as Board Members going forward, and not all donors. This will make governance of the organization and changing of by-laws much easier going forward, Executive Director Dave Bezusko noted.
• Adding current procedures related to the Agreement with Funded Agencies to the Code of Regulations.
A full version of the proposed, board-approved amendments to the Code of Regulation can be viewed at www.uwlogan.org.
Printed copies of the proposed changes can be viewed at the United Way office, located at 653 S. Main St. in Bellefontaine.
