Hi...We are in the process of redoing our bylaws (we've attended seminars and contacted lawyers) and are contemplating a switch from a membership that votes for our trustees and bylaws to one that is non-voting. A vote in favor of non-voting is the idea that it will be easier to create a more professional, fundraising type of board. The question arises, naturally, if the membership will be willing to vote themselves "out of office". Has anyone been through this transition? Any words of wisdom to share?
