Evan...the bylaws are specific. They do NOT say that the Corr Sec shall promptly notify the president and post to all available lists for discussion. We are here to protect ALL members and treat each fairly. We were elected, as you state, to conduct business on behalf of the club. We do not intend to act as a higher power. Our job is to follow the by-laws and to keep our club free from trouble. This board is a collection of sincere and concerned individuals without agendas. We will do what is right and unless our bylaws are changed we follow the outline of "Section 2. Charges".
