Annual Meeting March 10th at the Westmark
The ADMA annual membership meeting and draw for the Gene’s Chrysler Limited North American returns to the Westmark Hotel Gold Room, Wednesday, March 10th, at 7 p.m. The membership will vote on the classes and distances for the 2004–2005 race season, and dates for the 2005–2006 season, and will be electing a new board of directors.
A change in the bylaws has reduced the number of directors on the board from nine to five (in addition to the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer). In order to give new people and board members whose terms are expiring a chance to serve on the board of directors, all five directors will be elected at this meeting, three to an abbreviated one-year term and two to a full two-year term.
In addition, an election for vice-president will be held. Anyone interested in having their name added to the ballot for the board of directors and vice-president election, or for more information, should contact association president Dave Partee or any member of the current board of directors.
Also to be voted on is a proposal to change the race procedures to increase the race entry fees from $1 per mile to $1.50, and the minimum trail fee from $30 to $40 (procedure B.2.b).
In order to vote at the meeting, new members must have been present at three meetings. This doesn’t apply to returning members from last year.
