Admendments to the ASRC Articles of Incorporation
9186
Admendment = 1 Rewrite Article IV-Membership
Change C Associate Members D Auxiliary Members and E Sustaining Members
To C Associate Members and D Sustaining Members
Purpose This admendment removes the catagory of auxiliary member This membership type is not only unnecessary but is not
even being used Therefore lets purge it
Admendment = 2 Rewrite Article V-Board of Directors Section A
Change A Directors must be Certified members and shall be elected by the Certified membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
To A Directors must be Certified or Associate members and shall be elected by the Certified and Associate Membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
Purpose 1) This admendment allows for a greater pool of individuals to fill the post of member of the board of directors The onus is still on the groups to make sure they choose reasonable directors
-2) More importantly this admendment allows Associate Groups to have a member on the Board of Directors

Admendments to the ASRC Articles of Incorporation
9186
Admendment = 1 Rewrite Article IV-Membership
Change C Associate Members D Auxiliary Members and E Sustaining Members
To C Associate Members and D Sustaining Members
Purpose This admendment removes the catagory of auxiliary member This membership type is not only unnecessary but is not
even being used Therefore lets purge it
Admendment = 2 Rewrite Article V-Board of Directors Section A
Change A Directors must be Certified members and shall be elected by the Certified membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
To A Directors must be Certified or Associate members and shall be elected by the Certified and Associate Membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
Purpose 1) This admendment allows for a greater pool of individuals to fill the post of member of the board of directors The onus is still on the groups to make sure they choose reasonable directors
-2) More importantly this admendment allows Associate Groups to have a member on the Board of Directors

Change A Directors must be Certified members and shall be elected by the Certified membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
To A Directors must be Certified or Associate members and shall be elected by the Certified and Associate Membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws

Admendments to the ASRC Articles of Incorporation
9186
Admendment = 1 Rewrite Article IV-Membership
Change C Associate Members D Auxiliary Members and E Sustaining Members
To C Associate Members and D Sustaining Members
Purpose This admendment removes the catagory of auxiliary member This membership type is not only unnecessary but is not
even being used Therefore lets purge it
Admendment = 2 Rewrite Article V-Board of Directors Section A
Change A Directors must be Certified members and shall be elected by the Certified membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
To A Directors must be Certified or Associate members and shall be elected by the Certified and Associate Membership in accordance with the procedures specified in the Bylaws
Purpose 1) This admendment allows for a greater pool of individuals to fill the post of member of the board of directors The onus is still on the groups to make sure they choose reasonable directors
-2) More importantly this admendment allows Associate Groups to have a member on the Board of Directors
