The Board of Directors shall consist of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, the Chief Technical Officer,
normal;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>&nbsp;</span></p>
and two at-large Directors. No director shall be compensated monetarily for his work as a director, although the

===Eligibility===
To be nominated to serve as an at-large director, a member must fulfill the same eligibility requirements as an officer
as stated elsewhere in these bylaws.
===Nomination===
Nomination of at-large director candidates shall be done by the same process as officer elections as detailed elsewhere
in these bylaws.
===Election===
Elections for at-large directors shall take place at the annual meeting. All directors shall be elected at the same time,
by the process determined in these bylaws for Votes of the Membership, except that every full member will have two
votes with which to apply to the nominees. The two nominees with the most votes shall be the at-large directors until

membership to amend these bylaws to explicitly give the board of directors such decision making power. Any policy
affecting the organization at-large will, unless stated otherwise, be decided upon by the voting membership.
====Officer Oversight====
The Board of Directors is responsible for making sure the officers of Pumping Station: One are performing their duties
as defined by these by laws, and providing any assistance that the Officers may need in performing those duties.
This responsibility extends to oversight of the officers, but does not extend to altering the scope of the officers’
duties, or to the authority to remove an officer. The Board of Directors does not have authority to alter the scope of an
officers’ duties or remove an officer from his position; any such decision must be made by a vote of the membership.

The Board of Directors is responsible for collecting a list of the issues on the agenda for each membership meeting,
and circulating that list to the members for them to vote on at the upcoming meeting.
This responsibility is purely ministerial. The Board of Directors has no power to decide which issues are brought
to the membership for a vote. As long as an issue is submitted in a timely fashion, within the time frame defined by
these bylaws, the Board of Directors must place it on the agenda and submit it to the members for a vote at the next
meeting, within the time frame defined by these bylaws for circulating notice of a Vote of the Membership.
Directors have the right to make nonbinding suggestions about the proposals added to the agenda. However, these
suggestions are not binding on the membership, and members are free to discuss, debate, and vote on a proposal no
matter what, if anything, directors may say about the motion.
The Board of Directors need not call a formal meeting to draft the agenda.

The Board of Directors shall have an annual meeting, as required by Illinois law. The annual meeting of the board
of directors shall be on the third Tuesday in January. Notice of this annual meeting shall be provided electronically

The Board of Directors may also call special meetings other than the annual meeting, as necessary. Notice of any
special meeting shall be provided electronically to all directors and members of the organization, at the e-mail address
provided to the corporation, at least 5 days in advance. Notice shall also be posted at the corporation’s registered
address.

===Expiration of Term===
An at-large director’s term shall expire at the Annual Meeting following his election.
===Resignation===
Any at-large director may resign at any time by written notice delivered to the the president or secretary of the corporation.
A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a future date. The pending
vacancy may be filled before the effective date, but the successor shall not take office until the effective date.
In the event that an at-large director resigns, Full Members shall elect a replacement at-large director using the
membership voting procedure defined in these bylaws. Nominations for people to run to replace the at-large director
who has resigned shall open when the at-large director tenders his resignation, and remain open for one week. Members

nomination, using the Votes of the Membership procedures in these bylaws. The replacement officer’s term shall last
until new at-large directors are elected at the next Annual Meeting.
