Stop the SHENANIGANS!
Vote NO! to all Bylaws Amendments … Except for No. 12!
All of us here at WakeUpNCRA! have scoured the 12 (TWELVE!) Amendments to NCRA’s Constitution & Bylaws that membership will vote on on August 1. We have unanimously concluded that only one should be approved by membership – Number 12! All of the rest are just more SHENANIGANS!
Number 12 is the Amendment which has authors that are willing to step up: Sue Terry, Kristin Anderson and Christine Phipps – three current board members! We submit that they penned this Amendment No. 12 because they must have witnessed some SHENANIGANS!
Amendment No. 12 is an amendment that establishes Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised as the parliamentary authority for ALL NCRA business meetings. What … the … H‑E‑Double‑Hockey‑Sticks rules has our Board of Directors been following? SHENANIGANS! Have you ever heard of any organization not using Robert’s Rules as their parliamentary authority? Even WakeUpNCRA! uses Robert’s Rules to guide us!!!
Stop the SHENANIGANS! Vote FOR Amendment No. 12, FOR Robert’s Rules to be the guide for ALL business meetings of NCRA!
Amendments 1 through 10 have to do with the election process and the number of directors on NCRA’s Board of Directors. All of us here at WakeUpNCRA! can’t see a thing wrong with the way the elections process is now, nor the number of directors serving on the board. For instance, we elect the president of the United States in a 12-hour window, why does electing board members for NCRA’s board need 24 hours? – SHENANIGANS!
In our opinions here at WakeUpNCRA, the most ridiculous proposed Amendment to the Bylaws is No. 11 – changing the name of the association to save the current logo! SHENANIGANS! We are not kidding! Somebody has proposed a name change to National Captioners and Reporters Association to save the current logo! Please, let’s give this major change to our identity some real thought – Vote NO! to No. 11!
Thankfully, all of these changes require a two-thirds majority of the voting members to change the C&B. Please vote YES! to No. 12 … and NO! to every other proposed Amendment.
Stop the SHENANIGANS, NCRA!

P.S. Please send this to ten members of NCRA, so that they know to vote on August 1st to STOP the SHENANIGANS, too!
