During this year's annual convention in May, our WA State PTA updated its By-laws and these are available for viewing and downloading at the WA State PTA site here.
Pages 7-12 concern local units, their officers and governance.
There seems to be at least one interesting change that may affect our local unit, should we choose to update our standing rules. It allows for vote by email for the election of officers:
(h) The standing rules of the local unit may provide that voting for officer or nominating committee positions be by mail or by electronic transmission if the name of each candidate is contained in the notice of meeting or set forth in a record accompanying the notice. Any vote cast by electronic transmission must indicate the name of the member submitting the vote, be sent by email from the email address on file with the local unit, and be received at the email address set forth in the notice of meeting. Votes cast by mail or by electronic transmission must be received no later than the date set forth in the notice of the meeting. The local unit standing rules may provide that members voting by mail or electronic transmission are deemed present for all purposes of quorum, count of votes, and percentages of total voting power present, or only for the purposes of the election(s) conducted at the meeting.
