Joint Committee for Forming an Electronic Association Report

NAP’s charter for the Electronic Association of Parliamentarians was issued in August 2017. (The charter certificate lists only the month and year, not the specific date.) In accordance with Proviso 3 to the EAP Bylaws, requiring the President Pro Tem to call a special meeting for the election of permanent officers within sixty days after chartering, the required special meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, October 19, 2017, at 7:30 PM Central Time, using FreeConferenceCall.com. The Call to Meeting has been sent to all EAP primary members included in the membership list provided by NAP, and to all affiliate members who have completed a membership application. A copy of the Call to Meeting also is posed at https://www.eparliamentarians.org/2017/10/call-to-special-meeting. Specific call-in instructions will be sent to all members who complete the application and registration forms as specified in the Call to Meeting. As specified in Proviso 4 to the EAP Bylaws, nominations for officers will be from the floor. Members interested in being nominated are encouraged to contact Secretary Pro Tem Evan Lemoine at evan.lemoine@gmail.com.

As the election of permanent officers will complete the EAP formation process, the joint committee’s work will be finished, and the chair believes that the committee may be discharged.
