All motions moved by Britta Peterson, Zeta, ILSO Rules Chair and seconded by Pam Rightsel, Beta

Rationale for all motions listed: ILSO now has one salaried personnel and 4 stipend personnel due to changes that have been made previously. The proposed changes would include all positions receiving compensation from the ILSO budget to be a part of the Personnel Handbook. Currently the positions of Executive Assistant and Editor have become stipend personnel, and they are in the purview of the Personnel Committee. The above changes would add the webmaster and professional development coordinator to the same purview.

Fiscal Impact: None
