Below are the latest proposed modifications to the bylaws.

    1. ADD: Names of persons to be nominated at the District Meeting must be submitted to the Cooperative in advance to provide an opportunity to determine compliance with the requirements of Section 4.02 of the Cooperative bylaws. The submission must be in writing and shall include the name and home address of the prospective nominee. It must be received by the cooperative no later than 10 days prior to the District Meeting. Failure to provide the required information in advance shall disqualify the person from nomination at the annual meeting.
  2. Modify Section 4.02 (a) [Qualification and Tenure] to expand the requirements for Trustee to require 3 years of cooperative membership instead of 2 years as a qualification.
    1. ADD: Change "2" to "3" in the section so that it reads as follows: "is not a Member of the Cooperative in good standing to include any delinquencies for at least Three (3) years and a bona fide principal resident fo the particular district where he or she is to represent; or"
