At the Pre-conference Board meeting in Los Angeles, the ARLIS/NA Executive
Board approved the recommendation of the Midwest Rep Lou Adrean
for the dissolution of the Michigan Chapter.
The approved Motion#46 stated:
I move that the ARLIS Michigan [Chapter] be dissolved and merged
with ARLIS Midstates in accordance with the Society's and the Chapter's
Bylaws. Moved by Lou Adrean; Seconded by Kathryn Wayne; passed
unanimously.
An attempt has been made to follow the Michigan Chapter Bylaws Article
XII. Dissolution as posted on the AWS. It states: Dissolution of the
chapter shall be by 2/3 majority vote of the chapter.
We recently have determined from a former Michigan Board member that there
have been no paid members of this chapter since 1998 and that there is no
current Michigan Board through whom such a vote could be attained.
Therefore, in accordance with ARLIS/NA Bylaws Article XIII, Section 7
which gives the ARLIS/NA Board the authority to authorize the dissolution
of chapters and in accordance with Motion #46, I declare the Michigan
Chapter dissolved.
The ARLIS/Midstates Chapter shall receive any monies remaining in the
Michigan bank account (yes, we found a bankbook) and Sonja Staum-Kuniej,
Chair of ARLIS/Midstates, cordially invites any former Michigan Chapter
members to join ARLIS/Midstates. You may contact her at
