AMENDMENTS

According to ARTICLE IX—AMENDMENTS of the WSET By-Laws, the following changes have been presented in writing to the president by an active member in good standing. Furthermore, the president and the board of directors approved, in concept, these amendments. "Amendments to the by-laws must be adopted by a majority vote of the board of directors and ratified by a majority vote of the replying active members" [italics added]. Responses received by the mailing date shall be tallied." Members may vote only one time on each of the following five proposals:

"An annual assessment shall be recommended by the officers of the society and voted upon by the executive board; such annual assessment shall be payable on the first day of October or within ninety (90) days thereafter."

Add as the last sentence of the paragraph: "Annual assessments ("dues") received after September 30^th are applied to memberships through December 31^st of the following year." ____________________________

2. Change to ARTICLE III—ELECTION OF OFFICERS

"1. The society shall elect by mail ballot the following officers: president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Their term of office will be two (2) years. These officers shall constitute the Board of Directors of the corporation."

Paragraph 1, add as the last sentence: "Additionally, the President shall function as the Past President for the Board of Directors of the corporation for thirteen months following the end of his/her term of office." ____________________________

"3. Only active members in good standing shall be entitled to vote or to hold office. Candidates for office must be actively involved in the field of Electrodiagnostic technology at the time of nomination."

Paragraph 3, add as the last sentence: "Student members are granted the opportunity to vote, as long as they have paid dues as required." ____________________________

4. Membership approval is requested to extend the current terms of office for the Vice President and Treasurer until February 2010. This would stagger two of the four Board of Director positions to help preserve the corporate memory during changes in leadership.

5. Make minor corrections to the spelling/grammar of the By-Laws as needed and add "/Revised August 2008" to the title paragraph. ____________________
