The St. Augustine & St. Johns County Board of REALTORSR and the St. Augustine & St. Johns County Multiple Listing Service have, for the past few years, discussed changing the Bylaws as it pertains to the term of office for the President - Elect, President and Immediate Past President. At the September 17, 2015, Board of Directors meeting a Motion was made, seconded and approved to change the Bylaws to reflect the terms of office for the President-Elect, President and the Immediate Past President back to one (1) year terms with the effective date to be January 1, 2018. In order for the Bylaws for both the Board and the MLS to be the same in regards to the terms of the Officers, the MLS Board approved a motion that was moved and seconded to change the Bylaws to reflect the terms of office for the President-Elect, President and the Immediate Past President back to one (1) year terms with the effective date to be January 1, 2018. Please see the attachment for the details of the proposed change to the MLS Bylaws. The rationale for this proposed change will reduce the time commitment to serve in these three (3) offices from six (6) years to three (3) years. This proposed change will encourage more candidates to participate and to seek these offices. This Bylaw change requires you, the Participant, to vote on this proposed change to the Bylaws. If you vote yes, then the change would be effective January 1, 2018. If you vote no, then the two year terms for the President-Elect, President and Immediate Past President would remain in place.
