PETITION FOR AMENDMENT OF SOME SECTIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF YALI RLC ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

We wish to bring this petition seeking an Amendment of the Following Provisions:

ARTICLE 20 (20.6) which Reads:
To qualify to run for office into the National Executive Council - as a National Officer or Regional Coordinator, a Member should have served as a Regional Executive and must have completed his/her exchange program in not less than one year, (and for the position of President Two Years) prior to the day of the election.

ARTICLE 20 (20.7) reads:
To qualify to run for office as a Regional Executive, a Member must have completed his/her exchange program not less than one year prior to the day of the election.

The proposed amendment sought is to Delete the Entire Paragraph just mentioned above.

Reason: this will disqualify well-meaning members from Contesting who would otherwise be given an opportunity if not for these provisions.

Thank you.
