ARTICLE 3

DIRECTORS


3.1 Board of Directors. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by a board of directors (the “Board”), consisting of a minimum of three and a maximum of seven members, which may be increased or decreased by a majority vote of the Board, who shall be at least eighteen (18) years of age but who need not be residents of the State of Colorado (each, a “Director”). No vote to decrease the number of Directors serving on the Board shall have the effect of early termination of a Director who is otherwise willing and able to continue to fulfill his or her then-existing term as a Director.


3.2 Term of Directors. Subject to Section 3.3 of this Article, the Directors shall hold office for a term of at least two years. Each Director shall hold office until his or her resignation, removal or death.

These recommendations shall be made by any BTC Member in good standing. The recommendations must be submitted by email or letter to any Director. Only individuals who are Members in good standing may be recommended to serve on the Board.


3.3.2 The Board will review all recommendations regarding possible new Directors. After reviewing all recommendations, the Board will select by majority vote, an individual or individuals to nominate for selection to the Board. The President may veto any nomination, whereby the Board will select another individual or other individuals for nomination. The Board may nominate as many individuals as there are openings on the Board.


3.3.3 Within thirty days after such nomination, the Board shall call a special meeting to vote regarding the formal appointment of the nominee(s) to the Board. The nominee will immediately be appointed to the Board if a majority of the Directors approve the nomination.


3.4 Resignation and Removal. A Director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the President (as defined below) of the Corporation. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by any Director, and the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any Director may be removed at any time, for cause, by a vote of two-thirds of the Directors then in office. In the event that an Director resigns or is removed prior to the end of such Director’s term, that Director need not be replaced unless the Board deems it necessary, or in such event that the remaining number of Directors will be less than three.


3.5 Compensation. Directors may be compensated for their services, but by resolution of the Board, payment or reimbursement of expenses incurred may be authorized, including for actual attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor or for being reimbursed for expenses in connection therewith.


3.6 Vacancies. Any vacancies existing in the Board or in any elective office of the Corporation from any cause other than the expiration of the term of office may be filled by appointment by the President (as defined below), which appointment must be approved by a majority vote of the Board. The person so appointed shall hold office for the unexpired term of the officer or the Director who was replaced.


3.6.1 The Board may declare a Corporate office vacant if the officer is unable or unwilling to perform the functions and duties of that office.


3.7 Meetings.

3.7.1 Regular Quarterly Meetings; Action of the Board. The Board shall hold regular meetings every quarter, unless otherwise fixed by the President or Board. There shall be a minimum of four meetings held each year. Unless otherwise required by law, the vote of a majority of the Directors present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the Board. Each Director present shall have one vote. In the case of a tied vote, the matter in consideration will be tabled for reconsideration at a later Board meeting.


3.7.2 Place and Time of Board Meetings. The President, in his/her sole discretion, or the Board by a majority vote, may call a special meeting of the Board. Notice of special meetings shall be given upon not less than three days’ advance written notice (or such shorter notice as required by exigent circumstances as determined by the President) by US mail or electronic mail, and shall include a brief statement of the purpose, date, time, and location thereof.


3.7.3 Remote Meetings. Meetings of the Board may be held in person, by electronic communication, or by a combination of these methods at the discretion of the President or the majority of the Board.


3.7.4 Quorum of Directors; Adjournment. A simple majority of Directors, whether present in person or by electronic communication, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; however, provided that if less than a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of those Directors who are present at the Board meeting may adjourn the meeting without notice other than by announcement until a quorum shall be present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.


3.8 Action without Meetings. Any action which must or may be taken by the Board at a regular or special meeting may be taken, with the same validity and effect, without a meeting if a consent by email, regular mail, or telephone (in the discretion of the President (or Vice President in his/her stead)) setting forth the action taken is affirmed by one of these methods by a majority of the voting members of the Board. Any such action is effective upon voting, but is subject to being ratified or rescinded by a majority vote of a quorum present at the next regular or special meeting of the Board, unless the email, regular mail or telephone call stating the action taken provides for immediate implementation. Such Board action without meeting is supplemental to, and not in substitution of, action that may otherwise be taken by the Board or an officer pursuant to these Bylaws.


3.9 Roles and Responsibilities. The Board shall appoint from among its members one Director to serve as President of the Board (the “President”). The President shall call, conduct and cause minutes to be prepared for each Board meeting.

The Executive Committee shall be composed of members of the Board, and may act in the absence of the Board within the parameters and limitations set forth by the Board. The Governance Committee reviews the Corporation’s governance issues and recommends appropriate governance policies. The Governance Committee also leads the Board development and recruitment process, establishes Director responsibilities and monitors progress on fulfilling these obligations. The Finance Committee makes recommendations concerning the Corporation’s finances and develops the Corporation’s budget. This committee approves the annual budget and monitors the budget by reviewing financial reports and forecasts. In addition, it ensures adherence to the Corporation’s financial policies. One member of each committee shall be appointed chair of such committee by the Board or, if not appointed by the Board, by the members of such committee. The committee chair shall call, conduct and cause minutes to be prepared for each committee meeting. Vacancies on the Executive Committee, Finance Committee and Governance Committee shall be filled by appointment by the President with ratification at the next meeting of the Board.

Except for the Executive Committee, committees may include and seek advice from Members in good standing. All BTC committees shall have at least one Director.


3.11 Special Committees. The Board may establish special committees from time to time to undertake such activities and to perform such functions as the Board may determine are advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation. No special committee shall have or exercise the authority of the Board in the management of the Corporation, but shall make recommendations to the Board. Members of any special committee may, but need not be, Directors, and the President of the Board shall appoint the members of each special committee. Any such special committee shall limit its activities to the accomplishment of the task for which it is formed and upon completion of the task, such special committee shall stand discharged.


ARTICLE 4

MEMBERSHIP


The Corporation is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in its membership and participation so as to involve all individuals, regardless of age or physical ability, to represent their community as an athlete or supporter of athletics; provided, however, the Corporation shall not have members as that term is used in the Act and shall have no capital stock. The Corporation shall be governed exclusively by the Board pursuant to Article 3 herein. BTC will provide a safe and welcoming community for members to pursue their athletic goals through the promotion of health, fitness, and participation (the “Mission Statement”).


4.1 General Guidelines of Membership. Any individual, regardless of age, gender, location or ability, is eligible to become a member of BTC. An individual may become a member of BTC (a “Member”) by (i) registering with BTC through its website or through other available means, as the Board may determine, and (ii) paying annual membership dues. Any such Member who complies with Section 4.1(i) and (ii) above and who is not the subject of any disciplinary action by the Board, shall be a Member in good standing.


4.2 Member Rights. Rights of Members are as follows:


(a) Participate in BTC events including, but not limited to, races, training runs, community outreach events, community fitness clinics, educational opportunities, BTC social events, and regular BTC meetings as the Board may designate from time to time.

(b) Hold office and such other rights as the Board may specify.

(c) Inspect the books and records of the Corporation for any proper purpose at any reasonable time as approved by a majority of the Board on a case by case basis.


4.3 Member Conduct. Members are encouraged to:


(a) Work together to promote fitness, a love for running, and positive community experience for all Members and individuals in the running community; and

(b) Be coached by a BTC Coach (as defined in Section 7 herein) and participate in such BTC Coach’s group workouts.


4.4 Conflict Resolution and Disciplinary Action. BTC maintains an ardent commitment to a positive and productive attitude. The Corporation expects Members to train, compete and live in a way that minimizes and resolves any conflict. Negativity towards the Corporation, Board, Coaches, and/or its Members will not be tolerated. The Corporation encourages open communication to resolve conflicts before they escalate. The Board and officers are available for Members to voice concerns and help build a plan to resolve issues. Such plan may include the situation being brought before the Board as a whole, as deemed necessary.


4.4.1 Member Discipline. There are two scenarios in which BTC Members may be disciplined by the Board.


(a) Internal Conflicts. Internal conflicts include issues involving conflict between Members of BTC, a BTC Member’s grievances with the Corporation’s leadership and any other grievance, and an issue or conflict that has been subject to the resolution policy outlined in Section 4.4.1(i)-(iv) below (the “Resolution Policy”). The Board will issue relevant disciplinary action. This may include, but is not limited to, temporary suspension from the team, return of sponsor product, request for public apology and ultimate dismissal from Membership. Internal conflicts shall be resolved pursuant to sequence outlined in Section 4.4.1(i)-(iv) below.


(i) Go directly to the person(s) involved in the conflict and attempt reconciliation.

(ii) If direct reconciliation does not work, communicate with a Director or Officer to develop a reconciliation plan. The Board has the authority to recommend corrective measures.

(iii) If the Board deems that reconciliation has been unsuccessful, the involved Members will be summoned to a hearing before the Board. After hearing the case, the Board will then confer to vote on the corrective measures. Such vote will be subject to Section 3.7 herein.

(iv) If the conflict involves any Director, Officer, or BTC Coach, such Director, Officer, or BTC Coach must attend as an involved party and shall not participate in any vote regarding corrective or disciplinary action by the Board.


(b) Violations of the Boulder Track Club Release and Code of Conduct. In the event a Member or non-member is in violation of the Boulder Track Club Release and Code of Conduct, as amended from time to time by the Board, the President has the authority to render corrective measures towards the Member or non-member. This may include, but is not limited to, suspension from BTC or any events held by BTC, community service work, return of sponsor product, and request for public apology. In the event the President deems the Member should be dismissed, a meeting of the Board will be held and a majority vote required for the ultimate dismissal from BTC.


4.4.2 Board and officer Discipline. Should the President demonstrate immoral conduct, questionable financial practices, or a lack of ability to fulfill responsibilities, that in the opinion of a majority of the Board may require either personal correction or termination of their position, the Board shall contact the President and, if necessary, investigate and enact any appropriate discipline. Should the Board need to investigate alleged misconduct, a majority vote is required to take disciplinary action. With consensus, the Board shall assume complete authority over the President. The Board may decide to remove the President from their position or discipline them as seen fit.


4.5 Member Meetings. Meetings of Members may be held at the discretion of the Board or at the written request of the lesser of 25 Members in good standing or 25% of Members in good standing at the time of the request. If Members duly call on the Board to hold a Member Meeting, the Board shall set a date for such meeting within 14 days of the written request of the Members, and the date of such meeting shall be within 45 days of the written request of the Members.

13.1.1 The Board has adopted a conflict of interest policy attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which each Director shall annually review the policy and complete the acknowledgment and disclosure form related thereto and provide such form to the Board. The Board shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for the Director, and, if so, whether refraining from voting or deliberating in any matter is required to comply with such Director’s fiduciary duty to the Corporation.

EXHIBIT A

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY


(See attached.)


ARTICLE I

PURPOSE


The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Boulder Track Club Incorporated, a Colorado nonprofit corporation (the “Corporation”) acknowledges that conflicts of interest may occasionally arise and that neither the elimination from the Board of all persons who might potentially have any such conflict nor the avoidance of all transactions involving a conflict of interest would necessarily serve the best interest of the Corporation. Nonetheless, each Director (capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, or supplemented from time to time) is encouraged to avoid undisclosed conflicts of interest and to refrain from influencing the Board’s action on a matter in which such Director is financially interested. It is therefore the policy of the Corporation to avoid participation of any Director in the Board’s consideration of a matter which poses a conflict of interest for that trustee. The purpose of this Conflict of Interest Policy (the “Policy”) is to protect the interests of the Corporation when the Board is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or Director of the Corporation or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This Policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.


ARTICLE II

DEFINITIONS


1. Interested Person. “Interested Person” means any Director, officer or member of a committee of the Board with powers delegated by the Board who has a direct or indirect Financial Interest.


2. Financial Interests. “Financial Interest” means any of the following interests or arrangements, either direct or indirect (through business, investment, or family):

(a) An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement;

(b) A compensation arrangement with the Corporation, or any entity with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement; or

(c) A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Corporation is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.


3. Compensation. “Compensation” includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial. Further, a Financial Interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a Financial Interest may have a conflict of interest only if the Board decides under Article 3, Section 2 of this Policy that a conflict of interest exists.


ARTICLE III

PROCEDURES


1. Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an Interested Person must disclose the existence of the Financial Interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Board regarding the proposed transaction or arrangement.


2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists.
