2026 General Membership Meeting Summary

Greetings UCCPE!!!

Just to give a few updates following our General Membership meeting Feb 8th:

Elections for positions of President and Treasurer was conducted. I was elected as President. There were no candidates for Treasurer. We have up to 90 days to find a Treasurer in order to keep our Good Standing with 501c3.

Only one policy change was presented, that was for the Treasurer requirements, Policy Manual, Section 1.03. Policy Manual will be updated to reflect the change and will be available online this week, basically, we have modified the requirements for Treasurer to reflect no requirement to own property as it is not a state law in Colorado. This requirement to own property made alot of people that are interested in the position to not be eligible. Again, we have to have a Treasurer, and this policy was necessary to modify to allow a broader variety of people to run for the position.

Not having an elected Treasurer now places the position in the hands of the BOAs. Anyone interested in the position should contact me and come in person to April’s board meeting to be interviewed and voted as Interim Treasurer to carry out the remaining term of the position until next election for the position. All requirements and position duties are the same currently online, except owning property and signing a Surety Bond.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend atleast one board meeting throughout each Reign to see and hear for yourself how the board operates. Currently, we are holding board meetings at the Satellite Hotel in the “VIP” room which is on the main level, past the front desk, across from the restrooms. Meetings are held first Tuesday of the month. (NOTE, if weather is of concern, we would hold a virtual meeting to ensure safety).
March 3rd is our next meeting at 6pm
April 7th at 6pm for Treasurer voting. Anyone interested in the position should be present.

Their Majesties have some great exciting and fun ideas for future events, be on the look for what’s coming.

Winter Cotillion is March 7th at Purple Mountain Recovery. More details to come soon.

Any questions or concerns please reach out. Look forward to seeing you at future functions and/or events.
