March 2009 MTA Board of Directors Voting Results

The Montana Taekwondo Association is comprised of one delegate (director) from each of the MTA's member clubs (12 as of today) and the MTA's Athlete, Coach, and Referee Representatives (directors). The MTA Board of Directors, as a group, sets the course and priorities for the MTA (the MTA Executive Committee is tasked with the day-to-day management of the organization and seeing to it that the priorities set by the MTA Board of Directors are achieved). Each director casts a single vote on important matters discussed by, and brought before the Board. The MTA Board of Directors meets in person at least once (but generally more than once) each year. In order to best serve the Montana Taekwondo community, the Board also discusses and acts on matters of importance to the MTA using telephonic and Internet technologies.

Three important measures were put up for a vote before the Montana Taekwondo Association Board of Directors this month. The measures were as follows:

  • Confirm Steve Rosbarsky as MTA President-Elect for the current biennium (January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010)

  • Confirm Brandon Saltz as MTA Secretary-Treasurer for the current biennium (January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010)

  • Approve changing the MTA bylaws to allow all members to vote for the MTA Athlete, Coach, and Referee representatives (these representatives serve as voting members of the MTA Board of Directors). Previously, votes were cast by “affiliation” with athlete members voting for the Athlete Representative, coaches voting for the Coach representative, and referees voting for the Referee Representative.

10 of the current 14 members of the MTA Board of Directors responded by the deadline. Of those 10 ballots cast, all three measures passed unanimously; therefore, (1) Steve Rosbarsky has been confirmed as MTA President-Elect for the current biennium and will assume the office of MTA President on January 1, 2011, (2) Brandon Saltz has been confirmed as MTA Secretary-Treasurer for the current biennium, and (3) the MTA bylaws have been changed to allow the overall membership to elect the MTA's Athlete, Coach, and Referee Representatives rather than by membership "type" or "voting affiliation."

The actual results are listed below:
