Current membership in the ITA is defined as being current USA-Taekwondo members who reside in Iowa.
The following bylaw amendments have been proposed. Additions/changes are highlighted in yellow. The current Bylaws are available here.
Section 4.3: Application for Membership
USAT members do not need to submit applications for membership, nor additional dues unless enhanced membership in ITA is desired, beyond being current members in the corresponding category in the NGB, and demonstrating proof of said membership upon request.
Section 4.4: Powers of Member
Section 4.4: Powers of Member
Each member in good standing, as designated by their membership classification, shall have the
following powers:
1. Each Club member in good standing shall be entitled to cast one vote in elections for the Club Representative on the Cabinet. Each Club member in good standing shall also be entitled to cast one vote in elections for the Officers of the Cabinet. In addition, each Club member in good standing shall be entitled to have its Official Representative attend all meetings of the membership; hold office; serve on committees and participate in all events and functions sponsored by the ITA; and serve as a voting member of the State Board of Directors.
2. Each individual member (Coach/Referee/Athlete) in good standing shall be entitled to cast one vote in elections for the corresponding Director on the Cabinet. In addition, each individual member in good standing shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the membership; hold office; serve on committees and participate in all events and functions sponsored by the ITA. Each individual member is only permitted to vote in one category in any given year, based on the membership voting category they have selected for the NGB.
3. Each member in good standing shall be entitled to participate in USAT/NGB sanctioned events.
Section 4.6: Membership Dues
Enhanced members shall pay dues in such amounts and at such times as the Cabinet may from time to time determine. The enhanced membership gives those members discounts at ITA sponsored events and the ability to apply for funding to attend national level competition, additional training, or educational opportunities.
