Director Attendance Policy

On July 17, 2014, the WBA Board of Directors approved a amendment to Section 12C of the WBA bylaws regarding Director attendance and voting privileges. It reads:

"Any Director who is absent from two or more consecutive board meetings shall lose his or her voting privileges. Following attendance at two consecutive Board of Directors meetings, said Director shall be reinstated to voting status for subsequent meetings."

In other words, if a Director misses 2 meetings in a row, they will not be eligible to vote at the next two consecutive meetings she attends. This policy was put into place to ensure that Directors are active participants in the organization, and are adequately informed before voting on any association matters.
