Vote on Name Change for NFCCA

At the October 2025 general meeting, a motion to amend the NFCCA bylaws to change the name of our civic association from “Northwood-Four Corners Civic Association” to “North Four Corners Civic Association” was discussed.  Pro and Con arguments for making this change were discussed in a previous newsletter article at the link below.

After a spirited debate, a hand count vote was taken with a narrow majority of 19 to 18 to change the name.  The matter, however, was tabled in order to check on the bylaws requirements for making this change.

After researching the issue, it became clear that in order to pass an amendment to the bylaws requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members present in person or via Zoom (provided there is a quorum of at least 15 NFCCA members in attendance at the meeting).  Only members whose dues are current are entitled to vote — one vote per member house.

Furthermore, the proposed amendment must be submitted in writing prior to its consideration.  This requirement is met by including the following in this newsletter article:

This amendment will be discussed and taken up for a membership vote at the NFCCA meeting on 11 February 2026.   ■
