At-Large Board Member By-Law Proposal
MSI has been having difficulty achieving quorums for Board Meetings due to the overall size of the
Board. USA swimming does not require us to have five At-large members. Those typically assigned to
At-large members are currently covered by other Board of Director members. Reducing the number of
At-large members would require fewer Athlete Representatives. We could eliminate the At-large
members by attrition. The Senior Athlete position currently filled by college student would be
eliminated. By August 31 our numbers would reflect 14 Board of Directors and 4 Athlete
Representatives. This would reduce our voting quorum to 10 members. After August 2017, there would
be 13 Board Directors and 4 Athlete Reps making the quorum 9.
