<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Amendment #1 – Renames DEI Officer to Engagement Officer and updates the description. This is a sad, unfortunate change prompted by the current political environment in the
state, and one we are reluctantly suggesting to avoid any scrutiny or issues that may arise.
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Amendment #2 – Formally names a committee to oversee our FACRL conference planning and logistics and sets the timetable for membership to start February 1<sup>st</sup> each
year. We are recommending this change in order to give our committee more time to plan and prepare for the annual FACRL conference.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Amendment #3 – Removes instances where “vice-president” is used and replaces with “president-elect.” Minor wording change to maintain consistency throughout the bylaws.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Amendment #4 - Updates term of service for board positions to allow for a transition period between essential board positions. Also combines Terms sections in Articles 5,
6, and 12 so all Board terms are located in the same Article (5). This creates a transition period for some of our essential offices on the Board of Directors and also cleans up the bylaws to consolidate matters into one article (5).
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Amendment #5 - In order to ensure consistency from one board term to the next, the Florida Chapter of ACRL would like to create and adopt a Standard Operating Procedures document
to track and document the processes and instructions necessary for the running of the chapter. We need to have a living document to track all the processes and procedures involved with running FACRL rather than relying on the institutional memory of Board
of Director members. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
