Change in ASB Bylaws 
Change in ASB Bylaws 
Approved by the EC 
53 
ASB Interim Executive Committee Meeting 
September 14, 2013 
Proposal — That the Association of Southeastern Biologists establish a 
Treasury Office based on the same concepts that led to the establishment of the 
Archives Office. The Office would have two members, the Treasurer and an 
Associate Treasurer, each of whom would serve a three year term. When the 
Treasurers’ term expires, the Associate Treasurer becomes the Treasurer. The 
outgoing Treasurer may elect to become a candidate for the vacated Associate 
Treasurer position. If he or she declines candidacy for Associate Treasurer, then 
the Nominating Committee will find at least one candidate for the office. Each 
election of a new Associate Treasurer would require only one candidate. 
Bylaws — Changes would be required in the Bylaws to accommodate this 
change
