By-Law and Resolution Information
In accordance with the By-laws, Article IV, Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4:

The Association shall hold an annual business meeting in conjunction with the Annual Conference at a place and on a date and time fixed by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to transact such business as may come before the Meeting and to elect new Directors to the Board.

Active Members may propose resolutions for consideration at the Annual Meeting. Any such proposals must (i) be received by the office of the Executive Director no later than eighty (80) days prior to the Annual Meeting; (ii) be in proper parliamentary form; (iii) be signed by at least twenty-five (25) Active Members of the Association in good standing; (iv) be no more than three hundred (300) words in length; and (v) deal with matters relating to the purposes of the Association as set forth in Article II. The Board may also propose matters for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

The Notice of the Annual Meeting shall give notice of the date, time, and place of the Annual Meeting . . . and of any resolutions or other matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The Notice shall be served personally, by mail or by electronic mail, to all members entitled to notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the date designated for the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, the President shall determine the order in which resolutions or other matters may be considered. As the President may deem appropriate, resolutions from the floor may be considered at the Annual Meeting.

The complete By-laws can be found at www.collegeart.org/aboutus/bylaws.html. Any proposed resolutions should be sent to: Linda Downs, c/o CAA Executive Assistant, CAA, 275 Seventh Ave., 18th Floor, New York, NY 10001, with a copy, in Microsoft Word, sent to vjalet@collegeart.org. The deadline for receipt of any proposed resolutions to be considered at the Annual Meeting is December 5, 2007.

Additional Special Directors
The Board is considering whether CAA may be strengthened by having a finite number of directors from disciplines other than art and art history, such as law, finance, development, philanthropy, or management, serve on the Board. With these additional directors, the Board might be better able to draw on a broader range of experience and expertise. Before proposing to the membership any changes in the association’s By-laws, the president and the Board are soliciting the views of the members. The agenda for the meeting includes time to discuss why the Board is considering the addition of special directors to the Board and some of the issues potentially raised by such a change.
