“The MRA underwent significant governance restructuring to separate membership authority from board operations and modernize meeting procedures:1. Board Composition: Changed from delegate-based representation (one per regular member unit) to regional representation with 9 regional directors plus 3 elected officers (President, Vice-President, Treasurer), reducing board size and eliminating proxy voting for directors.2. Officer Elections: Officers are now elected by the full membership at an annual membership meeting (held each June) rather than by the Board, with two-year staggered terms.3. Membership Authority: Established annual membership meetings with explicit voting authority over key decisions including officer elections, new member admissions, permanent membership terminations, and major corporate actions (amendments, mergers, dissolutions).4. Meeting Modernization: Added provisions for electronic/remote participation in both board and membership meetings to accommodate volunteer schedules and geographic dispersion.5. Eliminated: Officers Committee (5-member executive committee with interim decision-making authority) and unlimited proxy voting at board meetings.These changes clarify the separation between membership governance rights and board management responsibilities while maintaining the organization's volunteer nonprofit structure and mission.”
