Revelli Composition Contest: Matt McCutchen reported there were 41 submissions for this year’s contest and the committee had selected a winner that would be announced at Thursday afternoon’s General Membership Meeting. He then asked if he could announce a runnerup, given the committee’s enthusiasm for recognizing the composer and their work, due to the age and experience of the composer. The Executive Committee agreed. NBA Clinic Presentation: President Phillips remarked everything should be set for the upcoming clinic at 12:15 pm in W-176 with the past presidents, The NBA at 60: The Past, Present, and Future of the National Band Association (NBA Past President Panel). NEW BUSINESS: New Constitution Amendment: Randall Coleman shared that he received a proposal from the Nominating Committee of past presidents regarding a revision of the First and Second Vice-President titles and a revision of the Second Vice-President’s appointment. The proposal recommended future presidents of the organization have experience as an officer in the organization for at least four years. This would better prepare a future President, ensuring ample working knowledge of the history, projects, activities, and financial obligations of the organization. The proposal states: “Change the title of First Vice President to President-Elect; change the title of 2nd Vice President to Vice President, who automatically ascends to President-Elect.” If approved by the Board and membership, this change would begin with the 2022 election of the next Second Vice President (Vice President). Discussion ensued and it was decided to bring the proposed amendment to the Thursday morning Board of Directors Meeting for their approval.
