September 20, 2011 Membership Meeting
OSHKOSH PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP – MINUTES
Location: Zion Lutheran Church in Oshkosh
Meeting Date: September 20, 2011
President Monty Montgomery moderated the meeting.
Monty’s tip of the month: Shot RAW – and his wardrobe reflected his theme.
Monty announced that the board has begun to recruit members to serve as officers and board members for 2012. A number of members have stepped forward, but we are still seeking a vice president candidate. Please talk to Monty if you would like to have your name entered into the nominating process.
Following are the current election procedures as written in our by-laws:
- Nominations will be made at the November meeting.
- Members will forward their votes to a designated vote collector prior to the December meeting.
- At that meeting the vote collector will announce who has been elected.
- Those elected will commence their position the following January and will serve for that calendar year
