The bylaws also provide that any 15 or more members acting together may make other nominations by petition with the secretary at least 45 days before the meeting and these will be reviewed by the nominating committee to determine if the qualifications as set forth in the bylaws are fulfilled. Individuals interested in becoming a candidate for a director’s position must meet the qualifications and submit a petition by 5 p.m. on August 1, 2018.
