Superfluous Handoff Meeting

I don’t see any reason for this handoff to exist, our Bylaws do not require a handoff. Directors cannot vote a board in, only a quorum of voting members can elect the Board of Directors.

The Board shall be elected at the annual meeting by a quorum of the members and their proxies. Their term of office shall be until the next annual meeting of members or until a successor has been elected.

I’ve updated the annual meeting’s minutes to include the election results: https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Annual_Member_Meeting_20180412

I’d like to delete the wiki page.

It is also the regular monthly BoD meeting for April.

Ceremony is a thing. Also what @Photomancer said.

Our ceremonial ritual is quite involved and is rich is symbolism.

Out going members get up out of their chairs, new members get pre-warmed chairs.

I recall fleeing the scene with a miechevious smile on my face and maybe - just maybe - bellowing I’m free! I’m free!

We need a staff of office for the President and maybe ceremonial collar like
the Lord mayor has in the UK

If only we knew someone or someones who liked to make… I dunno… Costumey like stuff, or maybe ceremonial, symbolic weaponry…ah well. Guess that little dream will always remain so since this bunch doesn’t rub elbows with the type of adult who would participate in ceremonies or spend their time creating elaborate cleric-wear or making implements just to show them off at monthly or so gatherings…we certainly couldn’t have a colour march ingress/egress of the officers if a banner were invented (preceded by the overlords’ banners, of course)…
