LIVERMORE MOM'S CLUB BYLAWS As Amended January 9, 2006 PURPOSE The Purpose of the Livermore Mom's Club (LMC) is to share ideas and talents so that we may grow as parents, learn better ways to understand our children, and help them become confident and capable individuals. DEFINITION The LMC is non-political, non-partisan, non-sectarian and non-profit. MEMBERSHIP Membership will be unlimited in size and will not be exclusive to Livermore residents. MEETINGS The regular Monthly Meeting will be held the second Monday night of each month at 7:00 p.m. Board and Committee meetings will be held as deemed necessary. DUES The board will determine dues in January for the next membership year. Dues will decrease by a set amount each month for those new members who join mid-year. Any prospective member may attend LMC functions for 2 consecutive months and then will submit dues. Should a member drop out of the LMC the dues will not be refunded. The annual dues and any other money raised by the LMC are to be used to defray expenses and further the interest of LMC.

This role will not be filled by an individual person, but rather the responsibility will rotate among the Executive Board and Standing Committee Members. CHANGE OF OFFICERS The length of each office is one year. Term is from March through February. All officers will change at the same time in March except for the Co-Directors which will stagger their terms with one beginning in March and one beginning in September. Co-Director terms are March through February and September through August. SELECTION OF OFFICERS First a nominating committee of volunteers will be formed in October. Nominating committee will take volunteers for all offices until January. Any person volunteering for Co-Director must have completed 1 year in a board position prior to the start of the new term. If more than one person volunteers for Co-Director, a secret-ballot election will be held in January and/or July. A simple majority wins. All other board positions are filled on a volunteer basis. The first person to volunteer for a board position will be granted the position. It is left to the discretion of the individual board member as to whether or not they wish to have a co-chair to help share the responsibilities of their board position. The split of responsibilities is left up to the respective co-chairs. TERM OF OFFICERS Executive Board and Standing Committee members shall not be permitted to hold the same office for more than two consecutive years.
