APPENDIX A: Section Bylaws Updated 2017

BY-LAWS: SECTION ON RACE, GENDER AND CLASS

Approved 1996, Revised 2010, Revised 2017

The purpose of the Section Race, Gender, and Class is twofold: first, to promote research that examines the intersections of race, gender, and class; and, second to promote a curriculum that underscores the centrality of race, gender and class to social inequality. By comparing the similarities and differences in how inequalities of race and ethnicity, gender, class and stratification are created and maintained, sociologists can develop a more powerful explanation of the nature of social inequality in general.

Officers of the Section: Only voting members of the American Sociological Association shall be eligible to hold office. The officers of the Section will include a Chair, a Chair-Elect, a Past-Chair, and a Secretary- Treasurer. Chairs-Elect shall serve for one year and will automatically become Chair for one year following their term as Chair-Elect. Chairs will automatically become Past Chair for one year following their term as Chair. The Secretary-Treasurer shall be elected for a period of three years.

There shall be a Council consisting of six regular members, who will each serve for three years. There shall be one graduate student member serving for two years. Officers shall not succeed themselves. The Chair, Chair- Elect, Secretary-Treasurer, and Past Chair shall also serve as members of the Council, so that the Council is composed of eleven members; the Chair of the Section will serve as Chair of the Council. It is the responsibility of all Council members to attend the Council and Business Meetings of the Section at the Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association.

In the event that a Council member is unable to complete their term, the person who received the next highest votes will be invited to complete the term. If that person is unable to serve, the Chair, with the approval of Council, will appoint a replacement to complete the term.

Powers of the Officers: The Council is vested in principle with the power to carry out all necessary operations for the section, acting as the representative of the membership of the Section. Any action of the Section, including changes of the By-Laws, may be brought to the vote of the Section by the Council, by a petition of 10 percent of the members of the Section, or by 25 members of the Section, whichever is less.

The Section Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Section membership and of the Section Council at which they are present. The Chair will also be responsible for planning and submitting the section's program for the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, in cooperation with the Program Committee of the American Sociological Association, and with advice of Council. The Chair shall plan programs for such special conferences as may be decided by the Council. In consultation with the Secretary/Treasurer, the Chair will approve disbursements on behalf of the section, with the consent of Council.

The Secretary-Treasurer of the Section shall record or cause to be recorded all votes and minutes of all proceedings of the Section Council and of any meeting of the membership, and submit these minutes for publication in the section newsletter. The Secretary-Treasurer shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Chair or Section Council, including keeping full and accurate accounts of the receipts and disbursements of the Section and disbursing or causing to be disbursed Section funds, making proper vouchers for such disbursements, and rendering to Section Council, upon request, an accounting of all of her/his transactions as Secretary-Treasurer and the financial condition of the Section. The Secretary-Treasurer shall also prepare an annual Section budget for approval by the Section Council at the Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association. The Secretary-Treasurer shall also serve as Chair of the Publications Committee.

Elections and Voting: The elections of the Section shall be carried out in cooperation with the annual election of American Sociological Association and coordinated to their schedule. The Nominating Committee shall present at least two candidates in good standing for each office to be voted on by the voting members of the Section, by ballot. Current officers are not eligible for nomination to the next term of the same office. The Executive Officer of the Association shall be responsible for the conduct of the election and the tabulation of ballots. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes for each office shall be elected. In the case of tie votes, a lot conducted by the Chair of the Section with two witnesses shall decide the winner.

Committees:

There shall be a Committee on Nominations, chaired by the Chair-Elect of the section, and comprised of four members. Two Council members will also serve on the committee. One additional member will be elected each year by those members of the Section present at an open Business Meeting to take place at the Annual Meeting of the Association. No member may serve on the Nominating Committee for two consecutive years.

There shall also be three Award Committees, each comprised of at least three members, whose members will be appointed by the Chair with the advice of the Section Council.
