members and affiliate units have been expanded in many areas; and
WHEREAS, cost of the expanded services exceed annual income of the

and
WHEREAS, members of the Association desire that services be con-
tinued at the same level and expanded to meet new and unforeseen circum-
stances; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED: The annual membership dues of the Association
be increased from seven to ten dollars.

ELECTION PROCEDURE AND SUCCESSION TO PRESIDENCY
WHEREAS, members of the Association are either confused or do not
understand election procedures as they have been regulated by amendments
to the Constitution and Bylaws; and
WHEREAS, the confusion and misunderstanding may account for the
failure of members to qualify as candidates for elective offices and, thereby,
result in "no contest" elections; and
WHEREAS, the elected first vice president fulfills the duties of that
office without the formality of being "duly installed" and, thereby, succeeds
to the presidency though never properly installed as first vice president; and
WHEREAS, the present practice prohibits functioning of the first vice
president during the months of November, December, January, February
and March; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED: That the statutes governing election of officers
and succession to the office of president be declared null and void and that
new statutes be written to require the following:
1. That the elected first vice president be installed in that office
before serving as president of the Association; that the elected
first vice president will not assume duties of that office until
the installation at annual conventions.
2. That candidates be certified by the Nominating Committee, in
a scheduled meeting during the annual convention; that the
Nominating Committee report the names of all certified candi-
dates to the Delegate Assembly prior to or during the final
meeting of that body; that the Nominating Committee be elected
by the Delegate Assembly at the final session prior to the con-
vention the committee will serve.
3. That election ballots be mailed on or before October 5 of each
year; that the sealed ballots be presented to an Election Com-
mittee for tabulation at the annual convention.
Respectfully submitted,
C. A. Thomas, President
Teachers State Association of Texas
