Monthly Dues and Bylaws Maintenance
MassLandlords has been running well! But it has been seven years since the bylaws were last updated, and we need to do some maintenance. At this meeting members will have a chance to review and comment on nine changes proposed to the MassLandlords bylaws.
The complete list of changes being proposed is as follows:
- Offer an option of monthly dues in addition to annual dues.
- Have the President, Treasurer and Secretary be decided apolitically based on seniority.
- Formalize the Executive Director role, which was created in 2014 by Board resolution but which isn't in the bylaws.
- Protect membership lists from marketers.
- Use score voting (rating candidates and choices, as we already do).
- Simplify annual meeting schedules to line up with state reporting requirements.
- Expand our legal mission to recognize the Certified Massachusetts Landlord™.
- Allow message board admins to curtail services without terminating membership, for instance, to pause access to the message boards following a "three strike" process.
- Require members receive advance notice of proposals to change the bylaws.
The changes proposed are available for members to read online in Microsoft Word redline format.
Attendees will leave knowing what changes are proposed and having provided feedback on wording. The final wording will be announced for the December ballot after we hear your feedback.
