ARTICLE IX - AMENDMENTS

Amendments to or changes in By-laws may be made at any meeting of the society by a two-thirds vote of a quorum or members represented by proxy. Such proposed amendments and changes shall, however, be considered only when the Secretary shall have distributed copies of the same to the members at least seven days prior to the meeting.

ARTICLE X - ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT

Upon election of his successor, the immediate past President of the society shall become an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors with full voting rights of a director for a term of one year unless such past President is already a duly elected director. From time to time the Board may designate any one or more of the officers of the society to be ex-officio members of the Board of Directors with full voting rights of directors for the term of their office as officers. Ex-officio members with voting rights of a director shall be counted for the purposes of a quorum of the Board, but shall not be counted in determining the number of directors to be elected by the Regular members of the society at the Annual Business Meeting of the society.
