Cleveland Critics Circle Board of Operation:
Three Cleveland Critics Circle members will be elected for three-year terms to serve on the CCC Board of Operation.
At the time of election, the nominations for members of the Board may be made by any member of the association, including the member him/herself. The 3 members receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. In case of ties, a run-off between those tied will be conducted.
Members are not limited to the number of terms they may serve on the Board.
If a member of the Board resigns, or is no longer an active member of CCC, s/he will be replaced by an election of the CCC Board to serve for the reminder of the resigned person’s term of office.
The Board will operate under Roberts Rule of Order procedures.
The Board should formulate procedures for the CCC, and, when it sees fit, poll the membership on matters that they deem require all members to participate. For instance, for initial confirmation or on changing any of the regulations of this document, or approval of new members or theatres the entire membership will be polled. The membership votes shall be by majority rules (Roberts Rules of Order approved definition).
The Board should appoint a member of the organization to monitor the CCC blog. It should be the responsibility of that person to create blog pages for the entering of the members’ capsule reviews and keep the pages up-to-date.
