Pursuant to the Constitution and Bylaws of the Ohio Young Democrats, this posting shall constitute a written notice to members that proposed Amendments have been received by this organization, and thus shall be considered at the Annual State Convention on Saturday, May 6th.
AMENDMENT 001
Establishing the Ohio Young Democrats Charter & Bylaws and Standing Rules
WHEREAS The Ohio Young Democrats Constitution and Bylaws currently exist as two separated documents that can, at times, be difficult to understand; AND
WHEREAS There are portions of the Constitution and Bylaws that can be considered to be in conflict of one another; AND
WHEREAS The governing documents of this organization should be clear, concise, and should actively prioritize and outline the rights of our members; AND
WHEREAS The Young Democrats of America have recently restructured their governing documents, and these changes would bring the Ohio Young Democrats into compliance with those documents; THEREFOR
BE IT RESOLVED that the Ohio Young Democrats do hereby strike and replace the existing Constitution and Bylaws with the proposed Ohio Young Democrats Charter & Bylaws; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Ohio Young Democrats do, through the adoption of this Charter & Bylaws, additionally approve and adopt the Standing Rules of the Ohio Young Democrats; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these Charter & Bylaws and Standing Rules documents are approved effective immediately, and will supersede all previously adopted governing documents of this organization; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Executive Committee shall be empowered to take these proposed governing documents as submitted, and split them in to two appropriately formatted documents, so long as no changes to text of the rules occur; AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these newly adopted governing documents be immediately updated to the Young Democrats of America through the outlined chartering process.
