Registration Information
Any AzCB member or guest is invited to attend the Special Membership Meeting, but in order to track attendance and to determine the number of eligible voting members in attendance, all attendees (whether in person or by phone) must register to attend. You may register by contacting the AzCB Secretary, Sharon Carpenter, by email at secretary@azcb.org or by calling her at (602) 472-8704.

If you do not register, you will not be able to speak, make motions or vote. There is no charge to register for this meeting. Voting Procedures Pursuant to the AzCB Constitution, members in good standing who attend any regular or special membership meeting (whether in person or by phone) may make motions and vote. To date, the AzCB has never allowed for voting by phone during a special meeting, so we will be implementing “televoting” for the first time at this meeting. We expect to refine voting procedures as we become more familiar with the “televoting” concept, but for now, we will use the following voting procedures during the September 11 meeting. 1. All votes will be role-call votes. 2. When a vote is conducted, the AzCB Secretary will call out the name of each person in attendance, followed by the name of each person attending by teleconference. 3. When called upon, each attendee (whether in person or by phone) will give his or her vote. 4. Once a vote is under way, no member may ask questions, make statements or speak for or against the motion. All such comments will be ruled as “out-of-order” by the Chairman. 5. No participant in the meeting may comment on the vote cast by another member. All such discussions will be ruled as “out-of-order” by the Chairman. If you have any questions about these voting procedures, please contact the AzCB Secretary, Sharon Carpenter, at secretary@azcb.org or by phone at (602) 472-8704 Renew or become a new member of AzCB Click here to Renew or become a new member of AzCB or one of its Affiliates.
