MAATA By-Laws Proposed Changes
2016
NATA Bylaws - ARTICLE 6 – passed summer 2015
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
6.4 Term of Office. The term of office of a Director starts in June following the
completion of the sitting Director’s term and shall be two three (32) years,
once renewable followed by a two (2) year term if re-elected. Terms shall be
staggered. A Director who serves a partial term may then serve two (2)
additional terms. A Director is eligible to serve again after a one year hiatus
(except for interim Director as provided in Section 6.8).
The current DIII By-Laws state:
 Section 2.5 Terms of Office
 2. 5.1 The District Director, District Secretary, and District Treasurer shall
have an elected term of office of two (2) years, but may serve a second
two (2) year term.
10
MAATA By-Laws Proposed Changes
2016
 Current language of the MAATA By-Laws states:
 Article 10. These By-Laws shall not conflict with the By-Laws of
the NATA. In the event of a conflict, the NATA By-Laws will take
precedence and the District By-Laws will be amended
accordingly.
 PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR CHANGE:
 Section 2.5 Terms of Office
 2. 5.1 The District Director and District Secretary shall have an
elected term of office consistent with the NATA Board of
Directors and District Secretary-Treasurers’ Committee term
limits. These officers may not be elected for more than two (2)
consecutive terms.
11
MAATA By-Laws Proposed Changes
2016
 AND!

2.5.2 The District Treasurer shall have an elected term of office of two (2)
years, but may serve an unlimited number of elected terms.




The Treasurer’s position is specialized in that many ATs are not trained or qualified as chief financial
officers (CFOs).
When an AT is trained and qualified to manage money, create and manage a budget, complete tax
forms, make educated decisions regarding investments and expenditures, etc., it is in the best interest
of the organization to extend the terms of such a person.
The MAATA Treasurer also serves on the Executive Council and it is to our advantage to have an
experienced AT assisting in the management of the District.
Other districts have also chosen to extend the term of their district treasurer.
In the interest of promoting involvement and opportunity, a call for nominations for District Treasurer
will occur every two years prompting elections whenever a second qualified candidate becomes
available.
Extending the term of office of any leader can be risky in that a person may not be effective over time
and may need to be replaced. Thus, we will conduct an election every 2 years if qualified members
choose to run for District Treasurer.
