Region III VPPPA The purposes of the VPPPA Region III conform to those of the
National VPPPA: to promote worker, industry and public
Board of Directors health and safety through voluntary cooperation with the
Roles and U.S. government in educating industry within the
Responsibilities geographical area of the Region III Chapter, about the
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) and other voluntary
governmental efforts to improve worker and environmental
health and safety. The Board of Directors of the Region III
VPPPA is responsible for supporting the purposes of VPPPA
Region III by:

1. Organizing annual or more frequent VPP and safety and
health conferences within the geographical area of Region
III Chapter. Board members are responsible for all aspects of
conducting a well-organized and informative conference to
benefit VPPPA members and potential VPP sites.

2. Participating in conducting the National VPPPA
conference to further the emphasis of safety and in the
workplace.

3. Organizing and conducting training for potential VPP sites
in conjunction with Region III OSHA
representatives. Board members participate with OSHA
representatives in presenting material to
prospective VPP sites about the application process and
expectations of a site seeking VPP status.

4. Assisting/ mentoring companies and their employees
within Region III to assist with preparation for and
the meeting of the stringent standards of the VPP.

5. Assisting the National VPPPA and regulatory governmental
agencies in the collection of information
concerning technical protections and/or management
programs from member companies to further
regulatory or voluntary efforts.

6. Pursuing any other activity or purpose, which will serve to
educate or inform companies or industries
about VPP or otherwise serve to further the purposes of the
National VPPPA. The success of Region III VPPPA is
dependent on the active participation of Board members
and the support of their companies in meeting the following
Board expectations:

· Signature of company management indicates that company management supports the
requirements listed herein. Should management change, the Board member shall notify the
Chairperson and submit a newly signed commitment letter for indication of support within sixty
days of management change.

· Board members shall attend a minimum of three (3) face-to-face Board of Directors meetings in a
calendar year. We currently schedule four (4) to five (5) face-to-face meetings per year. One (1)
of the scheduled meetings is the annual regional conference, one (1) is the national conference,
one (1) is a face-to-face meeting with Application Workshop (fall), one (1) is held at the
conference hotel for conference planning (typically one month prior to conference) and one (1)
is held at the proposed following year’s conference location. At our October face-to-face
business meeting, the Board typically schedules the meeting dates for the following 12 month
period. Face-to-face meetings entail travel within the Region III geography and one night
overnight accommodation (typically two nights with Application Workshop). The costs associated
with your travel and hotel stay is the responsibility of your company. Normally there is one Board
sponsored dinner meeting at face–to- face meetings.

· The Board member shall participate in, at a minimum, five monthly teleconferences in a calendar
year. The Board typically schedules a monthly 60 to 90 minute teleconference that is typically
held on the second Tuesday of every month. These are not commonly scheduled in a month that
we meet face to face.

· Attendance at the Region III VPPPA Conference is mandatory for Board members. Board
members attend this conference as a facilitator and not as a participant; therefore, Board
member participation in the conference will be as “time permits.” Board member regional
conference registration, room and tax (no incidentals) is waived since you are serving on the
board. Due to the amount of work required of the Board at the conference, all Board members
shall reside at the conference host hotel regardless of the hotel’s proximity to their home or work
location.

· The Board member shall support, join, participate in, and assist on Board sanctioned sub-
committees. Board members will be required to participate on telephone conference(s) as
directed by the sub-committee lead. Participation on at least one sub-committee is required.
Additional participation may be required as the need arises from time to time for additional
assistance as identified by the Board.

· Board member attendance at the National VPPPA Conference is expected. You must be aware
that Board members are attending this conference as facilitators and not as participants. The
Region III Board of Directors has several responsibilities at the National Conference including the
First Timer’s Reception, and the Region III Networking Caucus. The Board will do its best to create a
working schedule at the National Conference that will allow for rotating periods of conference
participation (breakout sessions, etc.); however, the primary focus shall be that of supporting the
event.

Region III Board Officers shall be assigned additional roles and responsibilities above and beyond
those noted above. These may be requested from the Board of Director’s Chairperson.

ARTICLE I - MEETINGS OF MEMBERSHIP

1.1 Place and Time of Meetings. Meetings of members of the Region III

notices of the meetings.

1.2 Organization and Order of Business. The Chairperson of the Board of
Directors (Chairperson) shall serve as Chairperson at all meetings of the
membership. The Secretary of the Chapter shall act as secretary at all
meetings of the membership. In the event the Secretary is not present, the
Chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of
the meeting.

1.3 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the membership shall be held at
a time and location designated by the Board of Directors.

1.4 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the membership may be called

1.5 Notice of Meetings. Written notice stating the location, day and hour of
each meeting of the membership and, in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less
than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the
meeting (except when a different time is required in these Bylaws or by
law). This notice shall be delivered by First Class mail, telephone, or

If a special meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or location,
notice must be given of the new date, time, or place as specified above.

1.6 Quorum and Voting Requirements. Unless otherwise required by law, a
majority (fifty [50] percent plus one [1]) of the votes entitled to be cast on
a matter constitutes a quorum for action on that matter. If a quorum exists,
action on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved if the
votes cast favoring the action exceeds the votes cast opposing the action,
unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law. Directors
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to

1

vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Less than a
quorum may adjourn a meeting. Each VPPPA Region III member site

guidance and/or support directly to that worksite) that were
formerly accepted participants in VPP and any other interested
parties, who have paid their VPPPA dues for the current year.

Agency membership shall be limited to the VPP Manager,
Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health

ARTICLE II - DIRECTORS AT LARGE

2.1 General Powers. The Chapter shall have a Board of Directors. All
corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the
business and affairs of the chapter managed under the direction of, its
Board of Directors, subject to any limitation set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation.

2.2 Number and Terms. The number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors (including officers) shall be at least eight (8) and no more than
(14). Of this number, at least two (2) positions shall be reserved for non-
managerial employees, one from a company with a collective bargaining
unit and one from a company without collective bargaining. This
reservation is in no way a limitation upon the number of director positions
which may be held by hourly or non-exempt salaried employees.
Each director’s term is to be two years. The terms are to be staggered,
with approximately one-half of the board elected at each annual meeting

2

of the Chapter. Officers may serve for an unlimited number of successive
terms if reappointed by the Board. However, it is the intent of the Board to
develop leadership and commitment from all Board members. Officers
shall be elected on odd/even years by the Board members; Chair &
Secretary elected during odd years and Vice Chair and Treasurer on even
years. Officers electing to step down will have the option to resign from
the Board or assume responsibilities of the new vacated Board position.
Each director shall hold office until his/her death, resignation, removal, or
until his/her successor is elected.

2.3 Qualifications to be Elected or Appointed to the Board of Directors.
To be nominated, elected, or appointed to the Chapter Board of Directors,
an individual must be considered a Full, Corporate, Associate, or Agency
VPPPA member in good standing at the time of said nomination, election,
or appointment. A candidate for Chapter Board of Director must have
previously served the VPPPA in a volunteer capacity including but not
limited to service as a conference volunteer, speaker, VPP Application
Workshop assistant and/or service on a chapter sub-committee. No more
than two (2) directors employed by the same entity, such as a corporation,
shall serve at any one time as voting members of the Board of Directors.

2.4 Election. Except as provided in Section 2.5, Directors (other than initial
directors) shall be elected by the members at each annual meeting and
those persons who receive the greatest number of votes shall be deemed
elected, even though they do not receive a majority of the votes cast. No
individual shall be named or elected as a director without their prior
consent and the consent of their employer. Once elected to the Board, a
person may continue to serve until the end of their current term without
regard to the status of their qualification for nomination, election, or
appointment.

2.5 Removal; Vacancies. The members may remove one (1) or more
Directors with or without cause. Unless the Articles of Incorporation
require a greater vote, a director may be removed if the number of votes
cast to remove him/her constitutes a majority of the votes. A director may
be removed by the members only at a meeting called for the purpose of
removing him/her and the meeting notice must state that the purpose, or
one of the purposes of the meeting, is removal of the director.

A vacancy on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from
the removal of a director or an increase in the number of directors, may be
filled by (i) the members, (ii) the Board of Directors, or (iii) the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a
quorum of the Board of Directors, and may, in the case of a resignation
that will become effective at a specified later date, be filled before the
vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy
occurs.

2.6 Annual and Regular Meetings. An annual meeting of the Board of
Directors, which shall be considered a regular meeting, shall be held

3

within 90 days following each annual meeting of the membership, for the
purpose of carrying out such business as may properly come before the
meeting. The Board of Directors may also adopt a schedule of additional
meetings, which shall be considered regular meetings. Regular meetings
shall be held at such times and at such locations as the Board of Directors
shall designate.

2.7 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
called by the Chairperson or a majority of the Directors of the Chapter,
and shall be held at such times and at such locations as the Board of
Directors shall designate.

2.8 Notice of Meetings. No notice need be given of regular meetings of the
Board of Directors. Notices of special meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be given to each director in person or delivered to his residence or
business address (or such other place as he/she may have directed in
writing), not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting, by mail,
electronic medium, or by telephoning such notice to him/her. Any such
notice shall set forth the time and location of the meeting and state the
purpose for which it is called.

2.9 Quorum, Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed in these
Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a
meeting of the Board of Directors. If a quorum is present when a vote is
taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present is the act
of the Board of Directors.

2.10 Telephone Meetings. The Board of Directors may permit any or all
directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the
meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all
directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the
meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to
be present in person at the meeting.

2.11 Action Without Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken at a
