Subject: Notice of Proposed Amendment to VAA Bylaws Regarding Qualifications for Directors and Officers

 

Dear Members:

 

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Virginia Auctioneers Association is considering a proposed amendment to the Association's Bylaws to remove the requirement that directors and officers be residents of Virginia. The proposed amendment would not change any other eligibility requirements, including requirements relating to membership in good standing, years of membership, prior service requirements for certain offices, candidate application materials, or the requirement that candidates be present at the annual meeting at which the vote is taken.

 

The proposed amendment would revise the following sections of the Bylaws: https://www.vaa.org/about/bylaws

· Article III, Section 2(b), regarding qualifications for directors.

· Article IV, Section 1(b), regarding qualifications for elective officers.

 

Members are invited to submit written comments on the proposed amendment on or before Friday, June 12, 2026, to vaauctioneers@vaa.org.

 

After the closing of the comment period, the Board will review the comments received and consider the proposed amendment at a duly noticed meeting of the Board in accordance with Article X of the Bylaws. Under Article X, the Board has authority to amend the bylaws by a two-thirds vote at a meeting where a quorum exists, provided notice of the proposed action has been given to each director at least thirty days before the meeting at which the action is taken.

 

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

Virginia Auctioneers Association
