AZ MBK ALKOTMÁNYÁBÓL A HELYI GYÜLEKEZETEKRE, KÖRÖKRE VONATKOZÓ RÉSZ CHAPTER SEVEN LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS 7.1 On the local (regional) level, the MBK consists of chapter [gyülekezet] and circle [kör] organizations. 7.2 A chapter consists of at least five active, adult members and may be made up of one or more circles. 7.3 A chapter may be organized only by authority of the MBK Council. It may come into being either at the initiative of the MBK Council or by petition. 7.4 At the head of each chapter is an elected chapter president [gyülekezeti gondnok]. 7.4.1 The chapter presidents should meet the same qualification as MBK councillors, as stipulated under §5.14. 7.5 In addition to its president, each chapter elects a board [gyülekezeti tanács] of at least two members, one of whom acts as notary [gyülekezeti jegyző], the other as treasurer. 7.6 All elected officers of a chapter serve for three years. They may be reelected. [Amended 1988]. 7.7 Every chapter should have, among its members, a recognized chaplain. If a chapter has no recognized chaplain in its midst, it should designate one of its members to act in that capacity. 7.8 The chapter board is entrusted with all property of the chapter. 7.9 The chapter board reports all chapter activities to the MBK Council through the Secretary of the MBK. 7.10 The MBK Council has the sole right to dissolve inactive chapters. A chapter will be deemed inactive if it has conducted no business for a period of one year. 7.11 If, after careful investigation, the MBK Council finds that a chapter board are not discharging their duties, it has the power to suspend or depose such board, and to appoint a commission for the conduct of the chapter's affairs until such time as a new board can be elected. 7.12 A circle is a group of MBK members who live in close geographic proximity to each other and/or have common functional, social, artistic etc. interests. 7.13 Every circle is a part of a chapter. An individual may belong to any number of circles within a chapter. CHAPTER EIGHT AFFILIATION OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS 8.1 An unincorporated local (regional) association with aims and goals similar to those of the MBK may become a recognized chapter of the MBK by petitioning the MBK Council and by subscribing to the provisions of this Constitution and Bylaws. 8.1.1 If such an association has a written constitution or bylaws of its own, these must be brought into substantial agreement with this Constitution and Bylaws before affiliation can take place. 8.2 An affiliating unincorporated association may keep its traditional name after recognition as an MBK chapter, provided such a name is not incongruous with the stated goals and purposes of the MBK and with the principles of this Constitution and Bylaws. 8.3 The merger of an incorporated organization into the MBK is governed by applicable laws of the State of Oregon and of the state in which the merging organization is chartered.
