@hanniemarie2, unfortunately you are not eligible for a BOD position. Please refer to our bylaws, Article III, Section 1. I've talked a bit with @fourtrax about it, but feel free to reach out to me directly with any other questions!
There will be plenty of opportunity to continue to contribute, so thank you for everything you've done and what you will continue to do!!

Hanna, use this! It should overturn any bylaws.
I just reread the bylaws, and they need some updating! The Events Coordinator technically is not a member of the BOD, voting members should have attended at least 3 events and an overnight trip, or 5 events, and at least 3 meetings (which we have never checked in the past!). I think this would exclude a lot of our members from voting...

Agreed! We're going through and updating the bylaws now, bringing them up to current times. Looks like they haven't been updated since our inception.
Yeah, @GarnerFJ40. There's a lot there for review. Discussions are happening.

Will the entire club membership be voting on any by law changes?

First and foremost, this is not the thread in which we should discuss the bylaws as they are today.
We have not, as a club, reviewed the bylaws since they were put in place (about 10 years ago), so the BOD will decide on a process when revisions are proposed.
Let's please keep this thread to nominations for bod positions only. Thank you.
EDIT: The bylaw approval process will almost certainly include a membership vote of some kind. The BOD has not yet had a chance to hammer out how it'll all work yet since we're just finishing up the holidays

Also, please remember that nominations are open until the end of January! I will send out the voting survey to the ONSC email list after updating it. If you want to vote, make sure that your membership is up to date!
Johnny, confused a little. Is there a thread for bylaws discussion/feedback/simplification?

Not currently. We had a thread a while back discussing one section of the Bylaws in which we came up with a consensus update as a club:
Bylaw Discussion - Member Qualifications
We're currently going through the Bylaws to see what we think should be updated. When those proposed updates are done, we're either going to send them out via email to all current members or post them up here for a Q&A. If anyone has a specific section of the bylaws they want to bring up, please feel free to start a thread on it! I did not want to clutter this thread, which was my only point.
We are not trying to be intentionally vague. The BOD hasn't had a chance to discuss the bylaw updates yet (other than in passing) due to other things we've been working on, such as the 2016 Calendar. Communication with the membership base is of utmost importance, so please do not assume that we're trying to pull wool over anyone's eyes.

I would think dropping the age to be a member to 16 may be in order since it is the driving age and driving cruisers is what it is all about. I'm also pretty sure we have had members under the age of 18 in the past... Brysen would be the newest one that came to mind.
I'm mentioning it in this thread because it does pertain to Hannah being nominated which is what this thread is all about.

Yup, and this makes sense in context.
The bylaws currently state that members must be at least 18 years old. Brysen has a "student membership" which is a grey area because a "student membership" doesn't exist in our bylaws as they exist today. This is one of the many reasons we need to review and update the bylaws. The closest equivalent in our current bylaws for members under 18 years of old would be the "Associate Member" or "Honorary Member", neither of which are entitled to hold any office in the club.
In addition, the only other precedent anyone could remember for a situation like this (where a member via family membership was nominated for a BOD position) was with Sarah when she was nominated for Events Coordinator last year. She signed up for a membership herself so that she was a full-fledged ONSC member in order to be eligible for a BOD position. This would not work for Hannah because she is 17 years old and would fall under the "Honorary Member".

Nominations are now closed! Over the next few days I will update the ONSC mailing list with the list of CURRENT ONSC members, then send the voting survey out to that list. The list of those running for each position is on the first post of this thread.
Please make sure that your membership is current if you wish to vote! I will be using this list:

My membership is not correct. The roster says my expiration is 3/21/2016 yet I paid for a 10 year family.

Membership list updated and email sent out. My process was to unsubscribe everyone so that I had space to add only the current members to the list, so everyone should see an unsubscription notice, then a subscription notice, and finally the email with my survey.
Thanks everyone and happy voting!!

I haven't either, but we both should. You're definitely on the list.
