Vote Tabulation For 2026 Board of Directors
In June and July, 2026 we held an election for the Board of Directors open seats as described in the Bylaws and elected Lance Ylitalo for Region 2, Bruce Howes for Region 4, and Robert Desrosiers for At Large 2.
The details follow, below:
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the AIRHEADS BEEMER CLUB, INC.
As voted and approved May 1, 2024
1. The AIRHEADS BEEMER CLUB, INC., (the “Club”) shall be governed by a Board of Directors who shall exercise all powers of a board of a California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation.
2. The Board shall consist of seven (7) Directors. Five of these Directors, each, residing in the five (5) regions, (each a “Regional Director”), described in the Articles of Incorporation of the Airheads Beemer Club, Inc., (the “Articles” as amended from time to time), and (2) Directors nominated from the membership in general, each being an “At-Large Director”. The At Large Directors cannot be from the same region. Directors shall serve without salary. The Regional Directors and the At Large Directors collectively together are the “Directors” or the “Board”.
3. “Airmarshals” are individuals who have performed, or agree to perform, special services for the club. Each state, country or continent specifically mentioned in Article 5 of the Articles, as amended from time to time, may have an Airmarshal. Any member of the Club who desires to be elected as an Airmarshal may declare his candidacy by delivering a position statement to the Chairman of the Board prior to September 1 of any year. The Chairman shall give the present Airmarshal a chance to prepare his own position statement. Both candidates shall have access to the addresses of Airheads in their district. The Chairman shall then distribute the position statements to Airheads in the district where the candidate resides and set a deadline for the return of ballots which shall be in October of the same year. Airmarshal will be elected by the members in their given area. If there is no incumbent Airmarshal and an individual steps forward to fill the role then they can be installed by a majority vote of the Board. If an Airmarshal repeatedly fails to vote when asked by the Board then the Airmarshal may be removed by the Board at their discretion for cause. Airmarshals may also be selected to fill vacant positions by a majority vote of the Board.
4. All Directors shall be elected by a simple majority vote of all the Airmarshals. All Airmarshals, Directors or general members wishing to participate in club business or management activities must be members in good standing and be, and remain, current on all dues. a. All votes of the Airmarshals shall have been published to the Airmarshal list and shall have (14) fourteen days to submit their vote. b. Elections for Regional Director seats in Regions 1, 3, and 5 will happen in odd years and Regions 2 and 4 in even years, each a respective “Voting Year”. Each Regional Director will serve a term of 2 years unless terminated by operation of these Bylaw
