“The associations's bylaws provide that the managment of the association shall be vested in a board of governors.

The executive committee consists of at least 5 of the following members: president, vice president, treasurer, secratary and assistant treasurer, or past presidents. The board of governors, or the executive committe in their abscence, votes to approve or reject a membership application. Applications must be done on a form provided by the board of governors and each applicant must be endorsed by at least one member in good standing. Approval requires a two-thirds vote.”

“The board of governors, or the executive committee in their abscence, shall vote on any matter under the bylaws. This includes vacancies and newly created positions resulting from any increase in the authorized number of governors, which may be filled by personel elected by a three-fourth vote.
