I was President back around 2003 or 2004 (can't remember the exact year) of the SS Chapter when we were forced to go out on our own and I helped incorporate the Chapter into a non-profit tax exempt Club and signed the documents that made this happen. I drafted some of the original incorporating documents and constitution and sent them to our attorney for approval before we presented them to the proper agencies. I am a Charter Member and really enjoy all the friends that I have form my membership here. I wonder why this section had to be added to the Bylaws? Was someone using their title improperly??? I don't need names but I would like to know what was done to cause this to be added.
Regards, Don
IX. POLICIES OF THE CLUB
2. Usage of Club Position/Title nomenclature.
No Member of the Board or a member who is serving in an appointed club position shall use their title, i.e.,
“Silver Strikers Club President” or a reference to it, for any reason other than conducting club business/ duties. There
will be a onetime notice sent out to all members stating the new by-law and a deadline for adherence to it. Then from
there going forward, a first-time offence notification sent asking the offending party to remove the club title being used
with a (5) day period to comply, failure of removal or a second offence or multiple offences will result in actions being
taken by the BOD that could range from removal of their elected or appointed position to revocation of membership in
the club for up to (1) one year. Improper use of the club title includes, but not limited to, personal emails, email
signatures, social media, websites outside of club business/duties, and non-club related business uses of any type. This
does not preclude a member using their member number i.e. SS-XXXX for these above listed title usage exclusions.
