This document outlines revisions to the Orange Airsoft Club at Oregon State University Constitution. Each revision entry summarizes what changed and highlights key updates.
Revision 1
Date Updated: April 6th, 2023
Overview
The initial constitution established the club’s core framework and governance:
-
Foundational Articles
- Club name, purpose, and non-discrimination policy, including the definition of “Management” (all officers as a committee).
- Membership structure (Regular vs. Associate), eligibility, requirements, rights, and a tiered accountability process (warning → suspension → termination) plus the right to a hearing.
-
Officers & Elections
- Defined officer titles/qualifications (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Instructors, Competition Team) and detailed officer duties.
- Annual spring elections with nomination, seconding, acceptance, and secure online voting procedures; instructors may be appointed by Management at any time.
- Officer eligibility, term of office, accountability/removal (investigation, hearing, removal, appeal), and succession (vacancies, term of successor, presidential succession).
-
Advisors & Meetings
- Advisor selection by officer majority; “no current advisors” noted at adoption.
- Standing cadence for game days, training sessions, official meetings, and special meetings; social events policy (including non-member entry fee) and quorum requirements (≥50% officers and ≥50% general membership).
-
Parliamentary Authority & Finance
- Adoption of Robert’s Rules of Order, financial structure for dues (Regular: $0/year; Associate: $25/term), sources of funds (e.g., streaming, merch, fundraisers), and disbursement controls (Treasurer + one officer).
-
Amendments, Bylaws, and Terminology
- Amendment proposal/approval process (2/3 vote), allowance for bylaws, and a terminology section defining club-specific terms and local fields (e.g., OAA, Warpaint, Extreme Velocity, The Swamp).
This revision created a complete, OSU-aligned governance baseline for the Orange Airsoft Club—covering membership, leadership, meetings, finances, and due-process protections, with clear terminology to reduce ambiguity in day-to-day operations.
