Bylaws
ARTICLE I. Purpose
The objectives of this organization shall be:
- To arrange a suitable program on paleobotanical subjects in connection
with the annual meetings of the Botanical Society of America, Inc.
- To promote general interest and encourage research in paleobotany.
- To stress the importance of fossil plants in relation to botanical
and geological problems.
- To establish closer contacts between botanists and geologists
concerned with paleobotanical research and teaching.
- To assist in the dissemination of paleobotanical knowledge.
- To cooperate whenever desirable and possible with other organizations
in achieving these ends.
- To act in whatever capacity it may find expedient as an organization
of paleobotanists.
ARTICLE II. Officers
- The officers shall be a Chair, a Secretary-Treasurer, a Web Manager
and Editor of the Bibliography.
- The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Section, shall
appoint all committees, and shall perform all other functions customary
and prescribed for that office. The term of that office is one year.
- The Secretary-Treasurer shall keep the records of the Section,
carry on all necessary correspondence, and be responsible for the
collection of dues and handling of funds belonging to the Section.
The Secretary-Treasurer shall arrange the programs of the sectional
meetings and represent the Section at the Council meeting of the
Botanical Society of America, Inc. The term of that office is three
years.
- The Web Manager shall coordinate with manager(s) of the main BSA
web site, and facilitate the maintenance, upgrading, and updating
of web pages with content pertinent to the missions of the Paleobotanical
Section. The term of that office is three years.
- The Editor of the Bibliography shall be responsible for collating
and preparing for publication citations to be included in the annual
Bibliography of American Paleobotany. The term of office is three
years and shall be staggered so that the Secretary-Treasurer and
the Editor of the Bibliography are not both elected in the same
year.
- Officers shall be elected at a business session of the Section
announced as to time and place in the regular printed program. They
will assume office at the close of the annual meeting. Each officer
must be a member of the Botanical Society of America.
- Candidates for office shall be presented by a nominating committee
of three persons, which shall be appointed by the Chair.
- In the event of inability of the Chair to perform his/ her duties,
or if the Chair vacates the office before expiration of the one-year
term, the Secretary-Treasurer shall serve as Chair pro tem until
the election of a new Chair at the next regularly scheduled business
meeting of the Section. A similar vacancy in the office of Secretary-Treasurer
or Editor of the Bibliography shall be filled for the remainder
of the unexpired term through appointment by the Chair.
ARTICLE III. Special Meetings
The section may arrange special meetings or excursions whenever
desirable.
ARTICLE IV. Membership
- There shall be two classes of membership in the Section as provided
for in Article VIII (paragraph 1) of the Bylaws of the Botanical
Society of America, Inc. These are regular members (members of the
Botanical Society of America) and associate members (non-Society
members). Emeritus members are those who have been members of the
Section for 10 years and have retired. Membership in the Section
is free to designated honorary members. The Secretary-Treasurer
shall keep the membership list of the Section.
- Associate members shall have the privilege of attending and participating
in the programs of the Section. They shall receive the program and
other incidental materials, which may be issued through the Secretary-Treasurer
of the Section. Associate members may serve on all committees except
the nominating committee. They shall not vote for officers or hold
office in the Section.
- Both regular and associate members of the Section shall pay yearly
dues, which can be used to defray incidental expenses of the Section,
including the expense of publishing and mailing the Bibliography.
Changes in the amount of these dues shall be authorized by vote
at the annual business meeting of the Section and must be approved
by the Council of the Society, as per ARTICLE VIII, paragraph 4
of The Society bylaws. The Secretary-Treasurer shall collect the
dues on a calendar-year basis; members in arrears after a period
of six months shall again be notified and their names dropped from
the list of members until the dues are paid. Members' names may
be reinstated to the active membership list at any time by payment
of the dues for the current year.
ARTICLE V. Amendments
These Bylaws may be amended by a three-quarters vote of those
voting members present at a scheduled business meeting held during a
Sectional meeting at which scheduled papers are presented.
