HOC General Meeting--Constitution & Bylaws Updates at Mem. Union (Mendota lodge)

Hey folks!

This meeting will be dedicated to updating the Constitution and Bylaws. The Current working documents are linked below, and these documents will be updated as they are approved by Hoofer Council and Exec. 

It is essential to update the Constitution and Bylaws every few years to make sure the governing documents are representative of the current practices of the club. This hasn't been done in four years, so there are more updates and changes that need to be made. Also since then, there has been a change in the title of the VP position, the creation of a new VP, and the creation of a new Board: the Instruction Board. Because of this, there are significant changes to various areas of the Bylaws. Please feel free to make comments on the documents below with your thoughts and any edits that you see fit.

Join us every Tuesday night for our Hoofer Outing Club general meeting! These are free to the public, and we meet in the Mendota Lodge in Memorial Union at 7pm (near the Lakefront and Outdoor UW office). We will be telling stories of recent trips, discussing upcoming events, and getting to know each other. Our meetings are open to all who wish to be involved in the outdoors! See you there!

No registration is required!  

How to get there:

The General Meetings are typically in the Mendota Lodge in Memorial Union. This room is across from the Outdoor UW desk in the basement of the Union. To find it I would recommend either using Union doors right by the 80 bus stop, walking down a full level to the Wheelhouse, then taking the long hallway that will start with brown wallpaper and transitions to blue; the Mendota Lodge will be the last room on your left. You can also access it from the terrace if you walk inside the doors to the Union right by the wood staircase that goes onto the lake; the Mendota lodge will be the first room on your right.
