(b)               Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such date, time, and place as the Board of Directors may designate from time to time.

(c)                Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time and for any purpose by the President, or, if the President is absent or unable or unwilling to act, by the Secretary or any other Director.  Each such meeting shall be held at such date, time, and place as may be designated in the notice required to be given for such meeting.

(d)               Actions of the Board of Directors taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors that is held at a date, time, or place other than the date, time, or place at which such meeting is required to be held pursuant to these Bylaws shall be valid if notice of such meeting is waived pursuant to the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 2.5             Waiver of Notice.  Any notice required to be given to a Director by any provision of these Bylaws, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by law may be waived in a written instrument signed by such Director.  Attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where such Director, upon arriving at objects to the lack of notice and does not vote for or assent to any action at the meeting.

ARTICLE 2.6             Action of Directors by Consent in Lieu of Meeting.  Any action which is required to be, or which may be, taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the members of the Board of Directors take such action and, to evidence such action, sign a written consent (which may be signed in two or more counterparts) that describes the action taken.  Any such written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors duly held and may be stated as such in any document executed on behalf of the corporation.  The Secretary shall file such written consents with the minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the corporation.

ARTICLE 2.7             Meetings by Telecommunications Equipment.  Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, any or all members of the Board of Directors may participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone, video conferencing or similar communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  A Director who participates in a meeting in this manner shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

ARTICLE 2.8             Quorum; Action of the Board.  Unless a greater number is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws as to any particular matter, a majority of the Directors, with no less than one Director representing or appointed by each of the constituent organizations present (the City, the County, the Chamber (which includes the appointee of the Mayor of the City that is required to be a member of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau Advisory Board of the Chamber), and FFNHA), shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors.  The affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors shall be the act of the Board of Directors if a quorum is present when the vote is taken, except as may otherwise be specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.  Any meeting of the Board of Directors may be adjourned by less than a quorum thereof.

ARTICLE 2.9             Adjournment.  A majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors may adjourn such meeting until such date, time, and place as the Directors may then determine, or until the date, time, and place of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors.  Unless otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, notice of the date, time, and place for reconvening an adjourned meeting need not be given to the Directors if such date, time, and place are fixed and announced at the meeting adjourned.

ARTICLE 3

ARTICLE 4.12         Duties of Officers May be Delegated.  If any officer of the corporation shall be absent or unable to act, or if the Board of Directors so elects for any other reason that it may deem sufficient, the Board of Directors may delegate, from time to time, some or all of the functions, authority, powers, duties, and responsibilities of any officer to any other officer or to any other agent or employee of the corporation or other responsible person.

ARTICLE 4.13         Compensation.  The employees of the corporation shall receive such salaries or other compensation as may from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, whether adopted prior to or following the rendering of services by such persons, or by employment contracts entered into with such persons by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 5
Indemnification

ARTICLE 5.1             Indemnification Required by Law.  The corporation shall provide to the Directors such indemnification as it may be required to provide pursuant to applicable provisions of Kansas law.

ARTICLE 5.2             Additional Indemnification.

(a)                The corporation shall indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, taxes imposed by Chapter 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, and expenses of correction paid pursuant to Chapter 42 of the Internal Revenue Code) and against judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b)               The corporation shall indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and against amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

(c)                To the extent that a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in the two preceding paragraphs of this Section or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

(d)               Any indemnification under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.2.  Such determination shall be made: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

(e)                Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section.

(f)                 The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any provision of law, the Articles of Incorporation, other provisions of these Bylaws, any agreement or contract, a vote of disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

(g)                The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person or incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

(h)                For purposes of this Section, references to the corporation include all constituent corporations absorbed in any consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation.

(i)                  The provisions of this Section are intended to facilitate the corporation’s ability to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as its Directors and officers and at its request as directors and officers or in other capacities for other corporations or enterprises by providing and maximizing the amount of indemnification that the corporation is permitted to provide to such persons by applicable provisions of Kansas law, and the provisions of this Section shall be construed accordingly.  The provisions of this Section do not limit the corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Director or officer of the corporation in connection with appearing as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the Director or officer has not been made a named defendant or respondent to the proceeding.

ARTICLE 6
General

ARTICLE 6.1             Checks.  All checks, bank drafts, and other orders for the payment of money shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.  If no designation is made and unless and until the Board of Directors otherwise provides, both the President and the Treasurer shall individually have the power to sign all such instruments which are executed or made for the corporation in the ordinary course of its business.

ARTICLE 6.6             Interpretation.  Whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender in these Bylaws shall include the feminine and neuter, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.  The table of contents and headings are solely for organization, convenience, and clarity and shall not be construed to define, describe, limit, or expand the scope of these Bylaws or the intent of any of the provisions contained herein.
