ITPA Board Member Online Election
Well, we had a false start with the election. The first ballot didn't work with the password provided. In order to maintain integrity of the election, the first election has been closed. Another ballot will be emailed 9:45am MST.
It's been a long time since we've had an election for board members. There are 2 seats to fill and 3 candidates. Primary members, we need your votes. Here are the details:
1. Election will be starting September 5th at 9am EST.
2. You will receive an email from ElectionBuddy.com.
3. Follow the instructions on the email.
4. Only one vote per Primary Member.*
5. Voting ends September 19th at 5pm EST.
PLEASE NOTE: During testing, ElectionBuddy.com wasn't able to email one address. In case you do not receive your ballot, call the ITPA office for the link: 1-866-346-5692 or [email protected].
*In the unlikely event multiple votes are received from one Primary Member and the votes are different, the highest ranking employee's vote will count.

ITPA Bylaw Changes Complete
Thank you for all who helped with the bylaw changes. The board has enacted the changes. Below are the changes to the completed bylaws:
1. Article IV, Section III - Membership applications will be accepted on board majority instead of three quarters or greater vote.
"Applicants for Primary or Associate Membership shall become Members at the discretion of the board and when approved by majority vote of the Board of Directors. Applications shall be considered by the Board only at its regularly scheduled or special meetings."
2. Article IV, Section VIII - Initially, this was a separate article but moved under Members article. For member payment delinquencies, the verbiage was changed from 3 months of issuance of invoice to 3 months of the year the dues are paying.
Reason: It gives the ITPA office collection flexibility before involving the board.
3. The "2013-10-17 ITPA Bylaws" had many spelling errors and poor formatting. Without changing the text or the spirit of the bylaws, spelling, formatting, and structure were addressed. As a part of this change electronic methods of communication were added to make the the bylaws current.
Reason: To clean up and make the bylaws easier to read. Also, to accommodate electronic methods for association communication.
4. Article IV, Section VII - Change of Ownership verbiage changed from having the member "reapply" to having the board "reassess" membership. Reason: Prevents attrition of membership. Ownership changes happen all the time and is very restrictive the way the bylaw is currently written.
Thoughts? Comments? Please email or talk to a board member or the ITPA office. We want to hear from you.
