delegates shall be based on Active Members of the Component State
Association at the close of business on December 31st of the
immediate prior year. Each Component State Association shall be
entitled to MOTION: I move to accept the bylaws amendment on delegate apportionment, Article V. Section 7. A. to take effect July 1, 2011. The motion is proposed by the House of Delegates Team on House Operations. Second: Since the motion is coming from the House Operations Team, it does not require a second. Per the AHIMA Bylaws, it will require a 2/3s majority of votes cast to approve. The vote on the Bylaws Amendment on Delegate Apportionment was Defeated. The vote required a 2/3s vote of the House to pass. A 2/3s majority vote would have been 143 of the 213 votes cast. a. Number of CSAs with delegates participating in the vote: 52 out of 52. The AHIMA's bylaws require delegate representation from at least one third of the CSAs for a valid election. Therefore, the quorum requirements were met. b.

2. Bylaws Amendment on House of Delegates Composition Section 7.
Composition. The House of
Delegates shall be composed of MOTION: I move to accept the bylaws amendment on the composition of the House of Delegates, Article V. Section 5. to take effect July 1, 2011. The motion is proposed by the House of Delegates Team on House Operations. PROVISO: This motion will be effective only if the motion to amend the AHIMA bylaws, Article V. Section 7. A., on delegate apportionment is adopted. Second: Since the motion is coming from the House Operations Team, it does not require a second. Per the AHIMA Bylaws, it will require a 2/3s majority of votes cast to approve. To clarify, both bylaws amendments (delegate apportionment and House composition) will be voted on simultaneously; however, if this motion (Article V. Section 5.) passes, it becomes effective only if the motion to change the delegate apportionment formula (Article V. Section 7. A.) passes. The vote on the Bylaws Amendment on House of Delegates Composition was Defeated. If Delegate Apportionment had passed, then the Composition vote would have been approved. The vote required a 2/3s majority vote of the House to pass based on the results of the Delegate Apportionment vote. A 2/3s majority vote would have been 145 of the 215 votes cast. a. Number of CSAs with delegates participating in the vote: 52 out of 52. The AHIMA's bylaws require delegate representation from at least one third of the CSAs for a valid election. Therefore, the quorum requirements were met. b. Bylaws Amendment on House of Delegate Composition: Percent Actual Votes
