Recall of Request for Membership Vote
Dear OCTRA Member
The OCTRA Board of Directors has decided to recall the request for a membership vote on four resolutions recently sent via Constant Contact due to identified issues in the mechanics of voting and difficulties ensuring the full membership receipt. The resolutions will be returned to the Committee Chair.
Please ensure as a member, that the OCTRA Membership Secretary has your current email address especially for family memberships as individual email addresses are required. Since the majority of members have email access, the OCTRA Board of Directors will continue to reach out using this format. As a member should you not have email access please indicate a current mailing address.
In the future, recommended resolutions by committees will be posted, with an end date, as a draft resolution to the OCTRA website Forum for member discussion and will include a review requirement by the committee chair, before the final recommended resolution is submitted to the OCTRA Board of Directors for approved membership distribution and voting.
We thank you for your understanding and contributions during a time of reorganizing and restructuring and encourage members to volunteer for specific committees. Presently a Rulebook Committee is forming and requesting volunteers.
Sincerely,
OCTRA Board of Directors
