May 22, 2015 ARRL OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND VICE DIRECTORS: In accordance with Standing Order 19, you are hereby notified that the formal call for the 2015 Second Meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors, July 17-18, 2015, will be sent on or about June 16. Please note the provisions of Article 10 of the ARRL Articles of Association: These articles may be amended by a three-fourths vote of all Directors, or, provided due notice of the proposed amendment shall have been placed in the mail to each Director at least thirty days in advance, by a two-thirds vote of all Directors. The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt By-Laws not inconsistent with the Articles and applicable statutes. By-Laws may be amended by a three-fourths vote of all Directors, or, provided due notice of the proposed amendment shall be mailed to each Director at least thirty days in advance, by a two-thirds vote of all Directors. Notices shall be sent by First-Class mail or electronic mail to the last known address to each Director. The Secretary is aware of one planned proposal for an amendment of the By-Laws, as reported in the minutes of the April 11 meeting of the Administration & Finance Committee that were circulated to the Board in arrl-odv:24250 on May 4: Moved, that Bylaw 4 is amended by replacing "$39.00" with "$49.00" in the first sentence, effective January 1, 2016. Any additional proposals received by the Secretary will be distributed with the formal call. Our meeting will be held at the Hartford/Windsor Airport Marriott, 88 Day Hill Rd., Windsor, CT. A group dinner is scheduled for Thursday evening, July 16. The Board meeting will begin at 9:00 AM Friday and is expected to be completed by dinnertime Saturday. Expenses related to Board Meeting attendance and travel will only be reimbursed for Thursday through Sunday. Should your membership on a committee require you to arrive earlier to attend a meeting of that committee, the additional expenses will be charged to the appropriate committee account. Standing Order 04-1.39 (amended January 2005) reads: "The Board of Directors authorizes the attendance of Vice Directors at Board meetings. Expenses for attendance will be chargeable to the Board Meeting account." I look forward to welcoming you to the Hartford area once again. Sincere 73, David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary
