Section 1.                     Nominations 

A.        A nominating committee of three (3) members shall be elected in the following manner to serve with the appointed chairperson.

This change to the Standing Rules has been proposed.  These will also be voted on at the regular meeting in June.  The reason for this change is that the treasurer sends the applications to National but no members sign the application before it is sent.   There is no documentation in the current Standing Rules on dues for retiree dues.  National requires that retires pay 50% of National dues.   

From  

16.        MEMBERSHIP AND DUES 

A.                 A prospective member shall attend at least one (1) regular business meeting, which shall be within the last three (3) consecutive regular business meetings. A completed application for membership, must be signed by two (2) members in good standing, is also necessary.  The application with appropriate dues shall be submitted by the Treasurer to NAIW for approval.  Membership shall become effective upon approval from NAIW.

B.                 Associate members are individuals who have held membership as an active member of an NAIW local Association for at least five (5) years and not presently employed in the risk and insurance fields.  Associate members shall be entitled to vote and hold office.
