The business portion of the meeting is expected to be short. Next year’s officers and other directors will be elected and a proposed amendment to the constitution of the AHS will be proposed. The meeting will be immediately followed by a presentation titled Shotgun Justice: A Crusader Against Crime and Corruption, with journalist and author Michael Lee Pope.

Action 1.

The AHS Board has voted to propose changing Article VI of the Constitution to increase the number of at large Directors from twelve to thirteen. The only change to the wording of Article VI is to replace the word “twelve” to “thirteen.” If approved, the Article would read as follows:

The Board of Directors shall consist of the elected officers, the Arlington Historical Museum Director if a volunteer, and no less than four or more than thirteen additional Directors elected by the members for terms of one year, the number to be established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.

Action 2.

The Nominating Committee intends to nominate the following for election as officers and directors at the meeting:

Officers

  • President: David Pearson
  • Vice President: Peter Vaselopulos
  • Treasurer: Richard Samp
  • Secretary: Sandy Newton
