Constitutional Amendment Language

Current Text: Article VI, Section 2:
Section 2, Terms of Office - The terms of office for the President, the First Vice President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer shall be three years. The President may only be elected to two consecutive terms. Terms of office for the eight Vice Presidents and the Vice President for Retirees shall be three years. These Officers constitute the Executive Board of the Local. Newly elected Officers shall be installed at the Executive Board meeting on or about June 1.
 

Proposed amendment and rationale:

Strike the word "June" and replace with the word "July." This change would ensure
that a new president and executive board took office at the beginning of a new fiscal year. This change would also ensure that an incoming president would be able to finish the school year prior to taking office.
