We have some changes in the OAGITM Board of Directors. Brian Rhodes has left Benton to pursue other opportunities and therefore is no longer eligible to be the OAGITM President. The OAGITM Bylaws outline the procedure for when an office is vacated. The following is the Bylaw section dealing with this change. Section E - Vacated Offices 1. If any office other than the President becomes vacant before official expiration of the term, the President shall appoint a successor who meets the qualifications of Article 5, Section C, and who shall immediately assume the duties of that office. This appointment shall be affirmed by a majority vote from the floor at the first conference held after the appointment. If denied, a special election shall be held immediately by the members present, subject to the restrictions of Article 5, Section B. 2. Should the office of President be vacated, the President's duties shall be assumed immediately by the First Vice President, and a new First Vice President shall be appointed in the manner described in Article 5, Section E-1. First President's duties shall be assumed by the Second Vice-President; Second Vice-President's duties shall be assumed by the Secretary- Treasurer and the new President shall appoint a new Secretary-Treasurer. Based upon the Bylaws, I have taken on the office of President. Kurtis Danka has taken on the office of 1st Vice President and Jody Cline has taken on the office of 2nd Vice President. I have appointed Holly Miller from the City of Wilsonville as the Secretary-Treasurer for the organization.
