Band Booster Bylaw Amendments – What you need to know The band boosters are proposing the addition of some positions and adjusting the term limits for board officers. This requires a change to the bylaws. Per the bylaws, we must share the changes with the band parents and offer you a chance to provide comments and suggestions. Please download and review the document and send your comments to officers@fcbands.org. The deadline for comments is the end of day, Thursday, January 30. Click Here to Download the proposed Bylaws Why are these changes being proposed? The FC band directors and many parents expect the high school band to rapidly grow in the coming years due to the population surge in Franklin Township. The proposal expands the number of Booster officers and defines a recommended and expanded number of appointed leaders. This will provide future Booster organizations a blueprint for leading a larger group of students and parent volunteers. Summary of Proposed Bylaws Amendments Amendment One: Four New Band Board Officer Positions are being proposed. 1. Vice President 2. Fundraising Coordinator (formerly Vice President Ways and Means) 3. Engagement Coordinator (formerly Vice President Communications) 4. Events Coordinator Amendment Two: The maximum time that a person can serve consecutive terms in the same Elected Board Officer role is proposed to be 3 years (formerly 2 years). The rationale for this be to would allow for consistent parent leadership to remain in place when necessary. For example, the change in the length of terms would be useful, should there be the occasion when no new candidates were slated for any one of the officer positions. The change in term length will still allow for any band parent to run for any office on an annual basis. Amendment Three: Details and descriptions are being added to the Bylaws for liaison and other support positions. Important Dates Thursday, January 30 – Deadline for providing feedback on proposed changes to officers@fcbands.org Tuesday, February 11 – PARENT MEETING: Booster Board will present finalized proposed amendments to parents; no vote will be taken. Tuesday, March 10 – PARENT MEETING: Parents will vote on the proposed bylaw amendments. If passed, the search for candidates to fill the board positions will begin. Thursday, April 9 – PARENT MEETING: Band Booster Board Election How do I get involved? If you’re a veteran band or guard parent and you’re interested in using your leadership skills to serve the band program in an expanded capacity, please talk to any of the band booster officers about adding your name to the ballot on April or send an email to officers@fcbands.org. If you’re a freshman or middle school parent and want to become more involved, you can start by filling out the volunteer survey. We want you to be aware of all of the great opportunities to be involved. It’s fun, you’ll make new friends, and best of all you’ll be adding value to the FC Band program.
