• Addition to the bylaws and/or SOP (whichever is appropriate) to prevent officers from issuing what amounts to a "pocket veto" on any items. Discussion of issues is mandatory and, lacking discussion within some reasonable period of time, I would like for it to be assumed that the officer in question is in support of the measure.
• Membership in the ACPA will be considered an ongoing part of ARTC's overall marketing effort and will therefore be taken for granted even without explicit inclusion in any budget submissions. Unless they increase the dues, this amount will be equal to $150 unless our cash expenditures exceed $150,000.
