# Renaissance Neighborhood Association Bylaws

*Amended bylaws of Renaissance Neighborhood Association (RNA) as of April 16, 2019*

## ARTICLE I. NAME AND PURPOSE

The name of the association shall be the “Renaissance Neighborhood Association.”

The association will operate exclusively in an effort to maintain, protect, enhance, and improve the quality of life of the neighborhood within the boundaries set forth in these bylaws.

The area included in this association shall be bounded by Lewis Avenue on the west, 15th Street on the south, Harvard Avenue on the east, and 11th Street on the north.

## ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP

### Section 1. Membership Composition.

There shall be one class of membership. This membership shall be allowed one vote per each paid adult membership, as detailed in the “Dues section.” Membership is open to any resident, non- resident property owners, business, school or church located within the designated boundaries. Members in good standing shall have paid annual dues as set forth by the Board of Officers (hereafter referred to as “the Board.”) Interested parties residing outside the stated area shall be admitted as long as their objectives coincide with the objectives stated in Article I, upon a vote of the Board.

### Section 2. Dues
Dues to be a member in good standing shall be $10 per individual/$15 per household (two adult votes per household)/ $25 per business membership (one vote per membership.) Dues are for one year beginning at the spring meeting.

### Section 3. Meetings

Meetings of the association shall be held at least two times a year, once in the fall and once in the spring in the evening, or at such other date and time as shall be designated by the Board and stated in a notice of the meeting. Election of the Board shall be held at the fall meeting of the year.

### Section 4. Special Meetings

Special meetings may be called by the President, not less than two (2) officers, or by a group of not less than twenty five (25) association members in good standing.

### Section 5. Notice of Meetings
Notice of all meetings stating the place, day, and hour shall be posted throughout the neighborhood and distributed by social media or any other means available. Postcards
may also be mailed to members providing funds are available. This notice shall be given not less than 3 days prior to the meeting.

### Section 6. Voting

At all meetings of members, each member in good standing in attendance shall be entitled to one vote.

## ARTICLE IV. OFFICERS

### Section 1. Number

The officers of the association shall be a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and up to five other members in good standing to fill other duties as deemed necessary. The Board may also appoint such other officers or assistance officers as it shall deem desirable; such officers are to have authority and perform the duties prescribed by the Board.

The Board shall be elected annually by the association members at the last regular meeting of the year.

Any member of the Board who files for public office shall be required to take a leave of absence until such time as the election of said office occurs. Election to public office shall automatically disqualify members to be eligible to be on the Board, and shall constitute automatic removal from the Board.
