Congrats to the newly elected NVSUA Officers!
President: Tom Sleeper
Vice President: Fred Fucci
Secretary: Rich Landry
Treasurer: Dennis Egan

Due to stipulations in the NVSUA Constitution & By-Laws, the amendment to Dues & Fees, Section 2, in the by-laws failed to garner a two-thirds majority vote in a show of hands at the final 2012 meeting of the association Mar. 21 and therefore wasn't successfully enacted.  The final vote was 19 in favor and 15 against.  The stipulations for a two-thirds majority for changes in the Constitution and By-Laws appears in Article Six-Amendments and Changes of the Constitution, and under the heading Meetings, Section 8 of the by-laws, which notes: "Except for a change in its Constitution or By-Laws, which requires a two-thirds vote, a simple majority of the voting membership present will be sufficient to carry out any motion before the association."  Dues and Fees, Section 2, now remains as it was originally written, without the change specified in the proposed amendment that "All changes in fees required by the ASA, including at the State level, will result in automatic increases in member dues, as noted in the NVSUA by-laws, for the years said changes become applicable."  All other By-Laws and Constitution changes voted on at the meeting were passed, and the By-Laws and Constitution on the web site have been updated to the current wording.
