“The foundation's audit and administrative policies committee and governance committee conducted a focused review on the articles of incorporation and by laws, including updating outdated provisions, revising or removing provisions that often change, ensuring proper balance of the foundation's relationship with college, and providing clarity to provisions related to board membership for state trustees. As a result of the review, the following were the more significant changes made: 1) currently, the bylaws and articles of incorporation require there to be four (4) directors elected annually by and from the membership of the state trustees of the college. A change was made to modify the articles of incorporation to allow a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of six (6) of the directors to be serving as members of the state trustees 2) currently, the bylaws have the officers in the positions of vice president, the two (2) assistant treasurers and an assistant secretary as being those persons designated by their title within their employment with the college. A change was made to allow the president of the corporation to specifically designate those officers, regardless of title. 3) amending the bylaws to establish the use of a separate charter setting forth the duties and responsibilities, membership, and procedures for the conduct of standing committees of the board: finance, strategic initiatives, development, audit and administrative policies, and governance committees.”
