| - | The Board of Directors should have the ability to recruit and appoint directors that would help them further the mission and effectiveness of Lansing Makers Network. This proposal would add a new class of directors who are appointed by the board of directors.

This proposal would also remove the restriction for an upper limit on the number of board members, allowing the board to determine the number of directors based on their needs. Lastly, the proposal modifies the impeachment section of the bylaws to allow the Board of Directors to move for removal of a director. This modification is needed to allow the board to execute their desire to vote for the removal of directors who miss more than three consecutive meetings unexcused. |
