I was asked about this today, so I thought I would provide you the NACD members with some insight to what has already been discussed in BoD meetings and is being put into action as we speak.
The NACD is sending a request to membership, to have NACD members sit on a By-laws committee. All interested can apply through orie.braun@nationalassociationforcavediving.org. Orie is the Membership chairmen and Operations manager
The committee; we are hoping for should consist of no less then 7 NACD members in good standing with a minimum 2 being instructors, Minimum 2 members should be from outside Florida. example Canada Mexico and Europe and all meetings by whatever means of teleconferencing, e-mails, skype or combination there of to include at least one of the NACD Legal Advisers at all times. Minutes must be taken of each meeting. The legal advisers are just for the guidance of how our by-laws are impacted by state and federal laws.or as requested to assist by the committee. the committee will be chaired by one of the several persons. Orie Braun will select this person The inability to meet the composition of members for the by-law committee will be brought to the NACD BoD for a decision to alter the composition if required to meet this important need.
The By-law committee are being asked to review and comment on all NACD By-laws making recommendations of any needed amendments, additions or deletions. The By-law committee shall pay close attention to NACD organizational structure, BoD requirements,Compliance to Federal, State and IRS laws as to maintain the 501(c) status. Additionally where applicable to consider the by-laws as suitable to meet an international membership. By-laws having recommendations for amendment, addition or deletion must state the reason for such amendment, addition or deletion.
The NACD BoD and any person that may take office between now and the by-laws committees recommendations will be kept at arms length from this ad-hoc committee and shall not participate in the review process. The BoD will hear the committees recommendations before January 2016. A date and time will be announced and co-ordinated between the By-law committee and the BoD
