“Red cloud renewable revised its bylaws during 2024. The following significant changes were made: 1. The purpose was modified to broaden our ability to offer different charitable or educational services to the native american community to meet the ever-changing demands of renewable energy initiatives. We also shortened it by taking out the naming of those services so that we aren't limited to specific approaches. 2. We clarified the qualifications of board members to include when staff members are also board members. We outlined when those members must recuse themselves from discussions or voting on matters pertaining to them or their work. 3. We added a section to the board of directors manner of acting that allows for meetings and voting to be done by email and sets out how they are to be done. 4. We amended the description of the role of the board treasurer to include that this position may not be an employee of the organization. 5. We amended article viii (contracts, checks, loans, indemnification and related matters) to no longer be the treasurer who holds this responsibility, but a designated member of the board. 6. The conflict of interest policy within the bylaws was rewritten to abide by current law and supplement any existing law. It now details what constitutes a conflict, how to address it, what happens if a violation occurs, and how to record the proceedings and annual statements, among other considerations.”
