Rationale for amending bylaws regarding Board member qualifications: 1.Recognizing that there is a responsibility of Board members to demonstrate support for WITSA’s major events. 2.Unexcused absences will result in the individual becoming ineligible for the next term of office. Board Attendance at WITSA events

Section 6.3, Board of Directors Qualifications bylaws: Presently, the individual pledges to attend the majority of meetings of the Board of Directors. Proposed amendment: The individual shall attend the majority of meetings of the Board of Directors, including being physically present at one Board meeting held in conjunction with a flagship WITSA event, specifically either the GPATS or WCIT, during the individual’s single term of office, failure of which will result in ineligibility for the next term of office. Exceptions, if any, shall only be granted by the WITSA Chairman. Board Attendance at WITSA events D 6
