Greetings to PALMC members,

A general membership meeting was held last Saturday ( July 12, 2003 ) with the primary purpose of amending the constitution. The main agenda was on electoral reforms. Based on the agreed amendments, an election was conducted for the incoming Board of Trustees.

The following are the highlights of the changes:

- That the number of trustees of trustees shall be nine (9).

- That out of the nine trustees to be elected, there must be at least two PAL employees and one of them is qualified to be the Chairman of the Board.

- That the officers of the association shall be a Chairman, a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and an Auditor.

- That other than the Chairman and the President, who must be members of the Board of Trustees, the other positions mentioned are open to all bona fide members of the asociation and are appointed by the Board of Trustees.

- That all oficers of the association shall hold office for two years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
