PROPOSED BY-LAW CHANGES
( Continued from previous page )
Change to read:
Section 1: Eligibility – a candidate must have been:
a.
a resident of
b.
an
outstanding player, or a member who has performed outstanding service to FSHPA
and an NHPA member for a combination of ten years in FSHPA and ten years in
NHPA, respectively.
Reason:
“many years” is a vague amount of time and five years in FSHPA is not enough
time to receive such a prestigious award.
Submitted by: Boyd Stonerock
I would also like to
recommend the following:
A
FSHPA Hall of Fame nomination letter should be added to the bylaws to require a
Promoter/Organizer be active for at least ten years in FSHPA, and ten years in
NHPA according to Section XIV, subsection 1, part B.

PROPOSED BY-LAW CHANGE
Proposal
#1. Article IX Clubs
Section 5.a
Reads:
a. A Club having 25, or
more, NHPA/FSHPA Inc. members shall have one additional vote for each 25
NHPA/FSHPA Inc. members. To establish entitlement to additional votes, the
Club's membership count must be a certified list, NHPA card number and name, of
FSHPA Inc./NHPA members by the Club Secretary to the
FSHPA Inc. Sec/Treas., no later than January 31st. A
member holding membership in more than one club may only be counted as a member
of his/her home club when determining the rights to additional votes. The

Proposed Change:
a. A Club having 25, or
more, NHPA members shall have one additional vote for each 25 NHPA members. To
establish entitlement to additional votes, the Club's membership count must be
a certified list, NHPA card number and name, of NHPA members by the Club
Secretary to the FSHPA Inc. Sec/Treas., no later than
January 31st. A member holding membership in more than one club may only be
counted as a member of his/her home club when determining the rights to
additional votes. The membership count, as of the previous year on December
31st, is required.
Reason:
This
article address the requirements
for voting allowances by each club based on number of members. It has been
stated that you can only count F.S.H.P.A. Members. It has also been stated that
our Tournaments are somewhere near 30/35 percent
participation from members who reside here in the winter months. These
are N.H.P.A. Members ,who support out Organization .
Isn't this what we want, future residents to reside here, full time. When we
hold our club meetings do they not have a say and participation .They are here
but not truly represented .Since our organization profits from their
participation and each club profits from their membership they should be
counted as members for determining club voting rights . Almost all
