Sep/Oct 2024 | Vol. 81 No. 5

From ACT p. 10
4. A motion to approve the corporate resolutions for

signatory authorization for the accounts at Wells
Fargo Bank was approved.
Context of the Action: Because two authorized
signatures are required for approval on Society
checks/payments, it is the practice of the Society
to appoint the current International President,
Executive Director, and Finance Director as signers.
Specific resolutions (per U.S. banking regulations
and individual bank requirements) are required, in

conjunction with documentation of board approval,
in order to remove the outgoing international
president from the accounts and add the incoming
international president to the accounts.

5. Without objection, a recommendation was
forwarded to the Executive Board to approve the following Ad Hoc Committee and Task Force groups:

a. The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) ad hoc committee
b. The Visionary Network ad hoc committee
c. The Revision Task Force
d. The Avenue M Task Force
Context of the Action: In order to accomplish the work of the Society and the vision of the Board, the
International President can appoint appropriate task force and ad hoc committees with approval of the
Executive Board, per Article VIII Section A.1.c.(2). The DEIA ad hoc committee will continue the work it
began in 2022-2024, the Revision Task Force will address the resolution approved by the 2024 International
Convention to revise the governing documents, and both the Visionary Network ad hoc committee and the

Avenue M Task Force will address the continued implementation of the recommendations presented in
the Avenue M Report.

6. Without objection, a team consisting of the International Parliamentarian, 2022-2024 Constitution
Committee Chair, and 2024-2026 Constitution Committee Chair was appointed to update the governing
documents with the changes made during the 2024 International Convention.
Context of the Action: Following the approval of amendments to the Constitution during the 2024

International Convention, updates must be made to the governing documents and state organizations/
chapters should be notified of the potential need for revision in practices and/or documents at their
respective levels of the organization. The ad hoc committee will facilitate the development of documents
informing state organizations and chapters of these updates.

7. A motion to authorize the executive director to determine committee liaison assignments (electronic
ballot will be distributed within the next weeks) was approved by consensus. See ACT p. 12
