Dan, while I had hoped that one of the other CCA Board members would have responded to your post, as they have not, I will explain.

The CCA is obligated to operate in accordance with its Constitution, as approved by the Membership, and as provided to the State of Nevada in becoming a corporate entity, as well as becoming an IRS-approved, 501 (c)(3), tax-exempt organization.

Our Constitution clearly states that the processes to be followed to replace a vacated position are to be followed in both the 1st year of taking office and when the vacancy happens during the 2nd year of being in office. These processes have been, to my knowledge, in place since the inception of the Club in 1988, but in any event, the processes are currently in place and must be followed, until changed, by Membership approval as a Constitutional change.

The CCA Board is not empowered to just ignore or do away with Constitutional requirements because we don't like something or take exception to said requirements.
