The Billiard Congress of America conducts
annual member elections for seats on its Board of Directors in
accordance with its Bylaws. Each elected director has many responsibilities,
including assisting with financial and administrative decisions,
attending meetings, participating on committees and representing their
respective constituencies. Board participation has a far-reaching effect
on the future of billiards
in North America and the world.
Meetings: The BCA
Board of Directors meets four times per
year, twice at the BCA National Office in Colorado Springs, Colorado,
once following the annual BCA International
Trade Expo (onsite) and once in a varied location like Palm Springs or Phoenix. According to the Bylaws, Section 6.6, "if a Director has two
unexcused absences from board meetings in the time between the annual meetings,
he/she may be removed from the board. The Executive Committee shall have the
sole discretion to excuse absences." The BCA pays each director a stipend to help defray travel and lodging expenses for each board meeting.
As details are confirmed, the dates and locations of all scheduled Board of Directors meetings
are published online.
Committees: Directors are encouraged to
serve on at least 1-2 committees, which are asked to meet by teleconference throughout the year to discuss
pertinent issues. The
current standing committees are: Executive (comprised of the officers of the
BCA), Audit, Long Range Planning, Promotions, Trade Show / Services, Membership, Instructors and
Nominating. Each committee is assigned a BCA staff liaison who is responsible for providing the minutes to the committee chair
for review
within seven days of the meeting. Any items recommended to
the BCA Board of Directors should be presented as an agenda item for the board's
consideration, with assistance from the staff liaison.
All agenda items must be finalized and received in the BCA office no less than three
weeks prior to the board meeting at which they are to be considered, so that
they may be included with mailed review items which are delivered two weeks
prior to any meeting.
Elections: The election process is conducted in accordance with the BCA Bylaws,
with approved ballots issued to qualified BCA Business Members each year.
Official ballots may be returned by mail by the stated deadline, or may be hand carried and cast at the BCA Annual Membership meeting
held in conjunction with each year's International Billiard & Home Recreation
Expo.
