COMMITTEES Section 3 Executive Committee & Section 4 Grievance Committee
The Executive Committee will be chaired by the President and consist of the current Club officers, the
immediate past president and the current Club legal counsel. The Executive Committee shall act as the
grievance committee for the Club and shall be responsible for establishing all accounting procedures for the
Club. It shall also review preliminary budgets prepared for each area of the Club, and will then make its
recommendations to the Board of Governors. The Board shall, not later than its first regular meeting of the year,
approve a Club operating and capital expenditure budget for the ensuing year. No expenditures shall be made in
excess of such duly approved budgets except by specific authorization of the Board of Governors duly made at
a regular or called meeting. The Executive Committee shall be responsible for recommending to the Board of
Governors policy concerning insurance coverage for the Club. Appropriately, the chairman may appoint an
Insurance Subcommittee to meet as required to review the Club’s insurance requirements and recommend a
comprehensive, cost-effective insurance program. The Insurance Subcommittee shall consist of a minimum of
three (3) Active and/or Company Shareholder, or spouses of Active or Company shareholding members, in
addition to a Board member chairman. Preference to appointing the immediate past Board President, as
Insurance Subcommittee chairman will be given. The term of service for the initial Subcommittee appointees
shall be as follows: Chairman and one member – 1 year; second member – 2 years; and third member – 3 years.
Subsequent appointments will be chairman for one year and a member for three years.
Proposed Change:
Section 3. Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will be chaired by the President and consist of
the current Club officers and the Immediate Past President. Executive Committee shall be responsible
for establishing all accounting procedures for the Club. It shall also review preliminary budgets prepared
for each area of the Club, and will then make its recommendations to the Board. The Board shall, not
later than its first regular meeting of the year, approve a Club operating and capital expenditure budget
for the ensuing year. No expenditures shall be made in excess of such duly approved budgets except by
specific authorization of the Board. The Executive Committee shall be responsible for recommending to
the Board policy concerning insurance coverage for the Club.
Section 4. Grievance Committee. The Grievance Committee will be chaired by a Past President of the
Club but not the Immediate Past President or a seating Board member. The Board will select a Past
President to chair the committee and appoint two former Board Members, two at large members to sit as
committee members for a term of two years and include the Club’s Legal Counsil. The committee will
hear grievances reported by members or the General Manager. The committee will collect all evidence
prior to calling a special meeting and the General Manager will serve as ex-officio. The committee will be
responsible for hearing the grievances and the chair person will report their recommendations to the
Board. The committee will be bound by a confidentiality agreement signed prior to hearing any
grievances.
Explanation for Proposed Change:
The proposed change is to ensure non-bias and equal practice is being conducted when dealing with all
grievances brought before the committee. This also allows for an investigative body to conduct hearings and
recommend to the Board proper discipline for all members during the grievance process.
