PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE POST AGM 2025
Welcome to the Clan Moncreiffe Society Annual General Meeting. I’m glad to be back in person this year! Cathy had a total knee replacement done on August 29th, if you are keeping track, that was about 11 months after the last one. This wasn’t supposed to happen until the spring, but she broke a piece off the tibial, and the rest is history. I have had a wonderful year so far, serving as your president. As I complete year 2 of my term, I’m starting to look at what else I want to accomplish, I’ve also started to think about campaigning to stay your president for another term, we will have to see what the slate committee comes up with this weekend. I think unless Dawes decides to run again, I might be safe. I have tossed some ideas of how to expand our family to reach areas that don’t know that there is a Clan Moncreiffe Society. I’m proud of the advances that we have been able to do in technology, and the support for how things have been done over the years! I look forward to supporting and leading the CMS for the next couple years. i was able to communicate with Ossian, if you are keeping count, their kids are 4 and 2, and they have another one on the way in Feb. Ossian did let me know that his grandmother, Janet Fox Pitt passed away in August. The coffee shop is going well! always good to keep in touch with Scotland!
Sur Esperance!
Robert E Moncrief II
President Clan Moncreiffe Society
The CMS Bylaws have been updated per the following notes. You may see the updated Bylaws under the Society dropdown.
The 2025 AGM minutes state:
"Bobby stated his intent to run for CMS President for a second term. As such, he pointed out that the Past President position on the council would necessarily become vacant as a result. ...
Rob Dawes asked the By-laws Committee to review two areas of the By-laws once again 1) the Past President Council seat and 2) the Social Media account called Twitter."
Regarding the first issue, on page 7, E. "The Past-President shall" #1 wording was changed to:
1. Not be elected; and shall be filled automatically by the most recent former President. If the most recent former President is unable or unwilling to serve, the position shall pass to the former Past-President.
~~~~~~~
In the second issue, on page 9, under I. Social Media Manager duties, #1
wording was changed to:
1. Develop CMS' online reputation via social media platforms.
~~~~~~~
Also, a clarification was added on page 3, Article VII, F. first sentence was changed to:
A quorum of the Council shall be a simple majority (one over half) of the Council officers in attendance at the Annual General Meeting or at Council meetings.
~~~~~~~
The CMS Council approved these revisions to the CMS Bylaws in their meeting of September 9, 2026.
