The below bylaw amendments were submiteed at the club meeting in Jan 2023.
As per the bylaws, they must be published for three months before being voted upon.
1-Add a new member class "Honorary Member". Honorary Membership recognizes individuals for their long-term contributions to paddling and the Merrimack Valley Paddlers. Honorary Members shall have all the rights and privileges of dues-paying members except they must also pay dues to be elected to any Board position. Individuals shall be granted a lifetime Honorary Membership by vote of the MVP membership under the same requirements for Bylaws Amendments. Their names shall be printed in the Bylaws as a public thank-you for thier contributions.
2-Add to the Vice-President job to be "Activity and Event Coordinator". [Currently this defaults to the Treasurer which is one of the things that makes the Treasurer's job a little too much work.]
