Proposed Bylaw Amendment for the 2024 Tennessee PTA Annual Meeting
The following proposed amendment will be voted on by the voting delegates at the 2024 Tennessee PTA Annual Meeting.
Bylaws Amendment One
To Amend Article IX: Duties of Officers, Section 6: Treasurer, Letter D. to remove the named officers who may disburse funds (President, President-elect, and/or Treasurer).
Currently Reads: Disbursement of funds shall be by bonded officers only: President, President-elect, and/or Treasurer. The funds of the Tennessee PTA shall be disbursed only in accordance with the budget approved by the Board of Directors or pursuant to an appropriation especially made by the Board of Directors.
If the motion is adopted it would read: Disbursement of funds shall be by bonded officers only. The funds of the Tennessee PTA shall be disbursed only in accordance with the budget approved by the Board of Directors or pursuant to an appropriation especially made by the Board of Directors. Rationale: By specifically naming who disburses funds from the Tennessee PTA checking account, this may become an issue when one or more officer positions are vacant. As all Tennessee PTA Officers are duly elected and bonded officers of the Board of Directors, this allows the Executive Committee the ability to continue to do the business of the Association should one or more officer positions become vacant. Currently, the President-Elect position is vacant.
