Notice of special membership meeting

The Board of Trustees of Corbett Children’s Theatre calls a special meeting of the membership at Corbett School District’s grade school cafeteria, in the west half of the multi-purpose building, at 35800 E. Historic Columbia River Highway, Corbett, Oregon, at 4:00 PM on Saturday, January 28, 2012.  The agenda is: Amending the bylaws of Corbett Children’s Theatre.

Summary of proposed changes to the bylaws:

• Substituting ‘Corbett Children’s Theatre’ everywhere it says ‘The Foundation’ for clarity.
• Removing the classifications of membership, and making everyone eligible under the same guidelines.  You can still qualify as a teenager if you have been involved with CCT for 3 consecutive years and are at least 16.  We are not requiring dues.  We do want to have record of volunteering and an easy way to track qualification.  The Board of Trustees will create an application you fill out every year to qualify as a voting member.
• Clarifying a fair and reasonable process for termination.
• Providing more flexibility for the annual meeting date.
• Simplifying the Special Meeting provisions.
• Simplifying the Notice requirements.
• Increasing the size of the Board of Trustees to encourage participation and spread out the workload.  We also removed the paragraph relating to the first Board entirely.  The sitting Board will determine the number of vacancies each year in light of the needs of the organization.
• Simplifying the meeting details for the Board of Trustees to be more flexible.
• Removing the requirement that nominations be submitted at a special membership meeting.
• Removing Section 7, of Article 3, which is now repetitive.
• Removing term limits for committee chairpersons

Please join us for this very important meeting!

Sincerely,

Jay Johnson, Board President                                                                                     Tad Winters, Board Secretary
