Each member licensing board has one vote, to be cast by either the delegate (or in that person's absence, the alternate). All other interested individuals are welcome to attend our annual meeting, but without voting privilege. The FCLB Annual Business Meeting is at 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 6, 2000. Boards must register their voting delegates by the postmark or fax deadline of Thursday, April 6, 2000. Please note that registration for the Saturday FCLB annual business meeting is not the same as registration with the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Delegates' Meeting on Friday. Contact Kelly Smith at NBCE at 970-356-9100 to register for that meeting. Member boards FCLB dues must be paid prior to this meeting or no vote can be cast to represent your state/province.

Bylaws - POSTMARK DEADLINE - Wednesday, March 8, 2000

Proposals for Bylaws changes need to be postmarked to the executive offices no later than 60 days before the annual meeting. Your FCLB Annual Report includes our bylaws on pages 25 - 29. If you need a copy, please call us at 970-356-3500.

As mentioned in our most recent press release, our FCLB Board of Directors will be working with the Bylaws Committee to develop recommendations to bring the document up to current standards. One item under discussion is a Bylaws change to correct a problem with the cycle for the term of FCLB Treasurer. The board has expressed its desire that Bylaws be changed to enable the membership to vote on this office when the treasurer is elected to another office, rather than filling the position by board appointment as currently required by the Bylaws. Proposed changes will be mailed to members no later than April 6, 2000.


Intent to Run - POSTMARK DEADLINE - Wednesday, March 8, 2000

The offices of president, vice president, and treasurer will be available for election at the FCLB annual business meeting May 6, 2000. Drs. Brown and Wolfson have each completed their first one-year terms as president and vice president, and are eligible to be re-elected to an additional one-year term in these offices. Dr. Cole was appointed by the board to complete the vacancy left in the office of treasurer when Dr. Wolfson was elected vice president, so the initial two-year term for treasurer will be open for election.

In accordance with our Bylaws, it is recommended that candidates for president, vice-president, and treasurer submit a letter of interest and curriculum vitae to the Federation's executive offices postmarked not less than 60 days prior to the annual meeting for consideration by the Nominating Committee.

Only Fellows shall be eligible for election. A "Fellow" of the Federation is one who is currently a member of a chiropractic regulatory board, or who has been on the board within the past five years (60 months).

Although District Director elections are generally held at the fall district meetings (with the director-elect installed at the spring annual business meeting), District III's election will be held in Seattle. The announced candidates to date are Drs. Daniel Saint-German of Québec and Carl Valvo of New York.


Resolutions - DEADLINE - Friday, May 5, 2000 - 8:00 AM (earlier is better!)

Resolutions can come from groups or individuals, and can be submitted any time during the year, but no later than 8:00 AM the day before the annual meeting. This is to allow the Resolutions and Bylaws Committee adequate time to review the resolution, to suggest clarification if required, and to present its opinion on the resolution to the membership.

Resolutions must be received in proper format. Please contact the FCLB staff for a sample. Resolutions are welcome to be submitted well in advance so that staff can assist those submitting with format and distribution, including placement in the conference notebook.
