The name of the committee will be the “Mudslide Committee”.

The purpose of the Mudslide Committee is to elect the individual (i.e., the “Organizer”) who will organize the annual golf trip.  

Membership of the Mudslide Committee consists of persons who have previously organized the annual golf trip.

Membership of the Mudslide Committee is for life.

The business of the Mudslide Committee shall be conducted by a Committee constituted of the Chair, the Honorary Secretary, and all Ordinary Members.

The Chair and Honorary Secretary shall be elected as “Officers” for a term of ten years and shall retire from office at the conclusion of the Annual Committee Meeting falling at the end of their term of office.

Members who have previously held an office shall not be eligible for (re)election to the same or another office in their lifetime.

The Mudslide Committee shall normally hold an Annual Committee Meeting at which, in addition to any other business that the committee may decide to put before the meeting, the “Election” of the individual who will organize the annual golf trip the following year will be conducted.

Only members of the Mudslide Committee shall be entitled to vote during the Election.

The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Mudslide Committee shall be at least 50% of the living Members represented and entitled to be represented and vote, and no business shall be transacted at any such meeting unless a quorum is present.

During the Annual Committee Meeting, the Chair will ask members of the Mudslide Committee to nominate individuals to be the Organizer for the next golf trip.  All Officers and Ordinary Members are entitled to nominate up to two individuals to be the Organizer.

Members of the Committee are entitled to have a proxy present their nominations at the Annual Committee Meeting.

The Honorary Secretary will register the nominations put forward and announce the names in alphabetical order to all Committee and non-committee members present.

The Chair will then convene a public forum during which time each individual nominated will be given the opportunity to present an argument no longer than one minute on why they should not be the Organizer.  Arguments will be presented in alphabetical order.  

After all arguments have been completed, the Chair will ask all Committee Members to vote for one of the individuals nominated to be the Organizer.

All Members have the right to vote by proxy or by telephone during the Annual Committee Meeting.  

Each Election shall be decided by a simple majority of the votes cast.  In the event of a tie during the Election, the person nominated with the least amount of votes overall will be elected as the Organizer. In the event of a tie among those nominated with the least amount of votes, the Election will be decided by a spelling bee convened by the Chair.

The Honorary Secretary shall announce the result of the Election immediately after the Annual General Meeting is closed.

Alterations or additions to the Statues of the Mudslide Committee shall be made only by resolution passed at the Annual Committee Meeting.

The Mudslide Committee retains the authority to do whatever it so chooses regardless of the provisions found in bylaws 1-19.
