"Freedom and Independence Starts Today"
More about usThis is a committee that exists for the purpose of monitoring current political and legislative activities that affect the motorcycling community within the state of New Mexico. The members of the board will collect information about current activities, consider what steps (if any) should be taken regarding activities, as well as make recommendations regarding the possible introduction of laws or regulations that will benefit the motorcycling community. This board will be composed of 7 volunteers (including chairpersons). In addition to the seven board members, there will be committee members who will be commissioned to do outside work and report back to the board. The committee will provide this service, at no charge, to all members of the motorcycling community within the state of New Mexico and will also provide a central body to which any individual can make recommendations, proposals or suggestions regarding current or future legislative activities. Although not associated with any one organization, the committee may report on a quarterly basis to the National Coalition of Motorcyclists, ABATE of New Mexico, Inc. the Coalition of Clubs or any other organization deemed appropriate. Officers will consist of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Relations Officer, Editor and Sergeant-At-Arms. Their office will be held for two (2) years by vote of all board members. There will be no term limits. How board members are established:
Attendance is of the utmost importance. Each board member must be able to be contacted by e-mail or their contact numbers. In addition, in lieu of extenuating circumstances, each board member/prospective board member must attend a minimum of every other meeting, for a sum total of 75% meeting attendance within a 12-month period. Failure to meet this obligation will result in mandatory dismissal from the NMMRO board. For due cause, board members may be removed by a majority vote of all established board members. Every established board member has an equal vote and say on committee business. The quorum will be at least two board members and the chairman or vice-chairman. If the chairman is unable to attend the meeting, then the vice-chairman will vote in case of a tie. Donations will be held by the Treasurer and will be dispersed as needed. All receipts will be shown to the board for final approval. As a member of the board of this committee, you agree to have your name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses published in different publications. Funds are to be raised through contributions, grants and fund raising activities. Upon the dissolution of New Mexico Motorcyclists Rights Organization, after paying or adequately providing for the debts and obligations of the corporation, the remaining assets shall be distributed to the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. No part of the earnings of this corporation shall ever inure to or be for the benefit of or be distributed to its members, trustees, officers or other private persons, except that the corporation shall be empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of the exempt purposes for which it was formed. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these articles, the corporation shall not carry on any other activities not permitted by a corporation exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These bylaws may be amended by a unanimous vote of all the established board members at any time. Revised: 11/8/02 |
