By-Law Recommendations
Submitted by Insurance Committee
January 14, 2012
Article 37
(c) Delete second sentence to end of paragraph.
Add: Must notify the local lodge officers of the appointment of a new sales agent for that lodge.
Add: (d) Administers sales agents contracts and insures that duties and responsibilities in contract are fulfilled.
Reason:
Most of Article 37. (c) deals with sales agents responsibilities and Article 37 is detailing duties of Vice President. Duties of sales agents are outlined in agent contracts and should not be part of our by-laws.
