Preliminary Statement (DO NOT ERASE)

While the Constitution was written to provide the team with a stable and long term governance structure, it shall also be a living document. The word/operating structure/experiences of Launch officers in 2022 may not be applicable to those in the future and, as such, the Constitution must be amended to reflect the team that it so governs.

Original Article or Passage from the Constitution

Amended Article or Passage of the Constitution
4.E.1: Admin Team Exclusionary Clause Members in good standing as defined by 5.D. are unable to fill the roles of the Admin Team if said member is going on Co-op for either the fall or spring semesters of the academic year in which they would need to fill such Admin Team role as defined in section 4.E.
Purpose of Amendment
We the officers of Launch Initiative for the 2023-2024 term do hereby amend the Constitution. We have decided to add section 4.E.1 under Article 4 due to the necessity for the physical presence of the President, Vice President, and Director of Operations. Many of the responsibilities of these roles simply cannot be done remote. This, plus the workload of a co-op, will inevitably cause their responsibilities to fall onto other officers.
