In NC, regarding alternates/proxy representatives, our By-Laws state:

 

  1. State Agency Members may appoint a Designated Alternate representative to the NCCDD.  The Designated Alternate must have sufficient authority to engage in policy, planning and implementation on behalf of the member organization.  The Agency Member must submit the name of the Designated Alternate in writing to the Chair of the NCCDD.  That Designated Alternate will serve until the Agency Member changes the designation in writing.  Only the Agency Member or the Designated Alternate shall be a voting member of the NCCDD.

 

The 60% membership does not designate a proxy – they are encouraged to, and do, attend in person.  It’s never been an issue.

Hi everyone,

 

We are revising our Bylaws in DC and noticed that we had clear language in there about organizational representatives being allowed to designate a proxy to attend meetings and vote on their behalf, but we didn’t take a stance on whether or not the 60% of community members could designate a proxy. Have other Councils dealt with this issue? What did you decide to do?

 

Alison
