Review and vote on proposed by-laws amendments as summarized below.

All parents are encouraged to attend to review the proposed changes however only 1 vote per Champions Park resident family will count towards the official vote for adoption. 

Summary of Changes proposed

Organization & membership

• A stated purpose clause is added (competitive/recreational swim program, sportsmanship, water safety)
• Membership eligibility widens beyond Champions Park residents to include surrounding neighborhoods not covered by another NWAL team
• New defined terms: NWAL, Director, Officer, Fiscal Year, Good Standing, Quorum
• Quorum for member meetings now requires members to be "in good standing," not just any member

Board of Directors

• Director terms extend from 1 year to 2 years
• New eligibility rules: background check required, and at least half the candidate slate must be in good standing with the HOA (CPHA) — with a 14-day extension and an "emergency exception" (unanimous board waiver) if that can't be met
• Removal process is now formalized: majority board vote, 14 days' written notice, and a hearing opportunity (previously removal wasn't addressed at all except for resignation-driven vacancies)
• New attendance requirement: directors must attend/engage in at least 75% of board meetings
• New "Operations" clause limiting individual directors from imposing personal agendas or interfering with coaches/volunteers

Nominations & elections

• Nomination lead time extends from informal/18-hour notice to a 30-day submission window with a nomination form
• New eligibility rule: nominees must have served in a key volunteer role for at least one season
• New review step: existing board reviews all nominations for eligibility

Officers

• "Second Vice President" is replaced by a "Team Representative" role (liaison to NWAL, ensures compliance with league rules)
• New pre-qualification requirements for Team Rep, VP, and President roles (prior service/officiating experience), with a waiver mechanism if no one qualifies
• Duties are more detailed (e.g., President can delegate presiding duties; Secretary now handles broader record retention, not just minutes)

New governance safeguards (absent in 1989 version)

• Formal financial controls: spending thresholds, dual-authorization for unbudgeted expenses, annual internal financial review by non-signer directors, confirmation of required IRS/state filings
• Conflict-of-interest policy with disclosure, recusal, and an annual signed acknowledgment
• Formal dissolution procedure with asset-distribution priorities favoring youth aquatics organizations or NWAL
• Bylaws now explicitly state they supersede prior versions and defer to the certificate of formation in case of conflict
