Council Protocol
I. Membership
The Coastal Croquet Cubs Council will be an organization of Croquet Clubs. Each of the clubs shall designate up to three of its members as delegates to the Council. The delegates are chosen by member Clubs and their names provided to the Council at the Councils annual meeting. Replacement of permanent delegates that occur during the year should be provided in writing to the Council Secretary. Additional representatives from both member clubs and croquet players-at-large are encouraged to attend meetings.
Other clubs may become members of the Council by invitation approved by a two-thirds ballot vote of the Council. Membership criteria may be set from time to time by the Council, subject to approval by the member clubs.
The USCA South Carolina District President shall be a representative to the Council, ex officio, with voice but without vote.
All balloting shall be by voice votes. A roll call vote may be taken at the pleasure of the Chairperson or the request of two or more delegates. For all roll call votes, each member club shall have one vote, the vote to be determined among each club’s delegates.
II. Officers
The regular officers of the Council shall be a Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, a Treasurer, and a Secretary.
Any member of one of the member clubs, who may or may not be a delegate to the Council, is eligible for elected officer positions. The elected officers shall be elected by a majority vote of the Council at its annual meeting for a term of one calendar year. All of the elected officers shall be responsible for carrying out the duties normally associated with those offices. Should the Chairperson be unable to complete his/her term, the Vice-Chairperson should assume the duties of the Chairperson. Should any of the other officers become unable to complete his/her term; the Chairperson may appoint a delegate to the Council to do so.
III. Committees
The Council shall serve as a committee of the whole with regard to programmatic responsibilities, functioning to plan and oversee the execution of the interclub program of activities on an annual basis. The Council will, at its annual meeting, designate a Program Coordinator or Director, who shall be a member of one of the member clubs (and may or may not be a delegate to the Council). The incumbent Program Director shall present, at the annual meeting a proposed program of the coming year's events for Council review, revision and subsequent implementation by the newly appointed Program Director.
IV. Meetings
The Council will meet periodically, the frequency to be determined by the Council, at a time and place chosen by the chairperson. Special meetings may be called by the chairperson or by request of three member delegations. The annual meeting will be held the first quarter of the calendar year. A quorum required for the transaction of any business shall consist of at least one delegate from a majority of the member clubs.
V. Financing Council Activities
The Council may from time to time solicit a monetary contribution from the member clubs. Other appropriate methods of raising funds, approved by the Council, are not precluded.
VI. Amendments
This Charter may be amended only by a vote of two thirds of the member clubs.

Passage of such resolution shall be communicated by the respective presidents to the chairperson of the Coastal Croquet Clubs ad hoc committee.
