Bylaws of the Hundred Peaks Section
Section 8. Achievement Recognition
1. Recognition of Achievements
Achievement recognition is awarded by the Management Committee to anyone
who has been an active HPS member for the preceding six months and has
completed the requirements for a particular achievement.
Applicants
must submit a list of peaks showing dates climbed to the Membership
Chair.
2. Achievement List
The Section shall maintain an official list of achievements and the
requirements for earning them. This list shall be available to all
members.
3. Achievement Requirements
For leader achievements, being the Leader or Assistant Leader on a
scheduled hike for at least half the ascent is sufficient for the
lead to be counted. For non-completion achievments, peaks that were
on the List at the time when climbed or led may be counted.
For completion achievements, all peaks on the List at the time of
application are required, except for the multiple completion
achievements; in these cases the requirement applies only to the
most recent completion.
4. Changes in Achievement List
Achievement List additions and deletions and changes to specific
achievment requirements may only be made by a vote of the active
members in the annual election.
5. Ballot Proposals
Proposals for achievement additions and deletions and requirement
changes may be placed on the ballot in two ways:
- The Management Committee may authorize such a proposal; or
- A petition signed by at least twenty active members may direct
such a proposal, if received by the Chair at least two weeks before
the annual business meeting.
Any Section member may sponsor a written proposal to the Management
Committee for achievement additions or deletions or requirement
changes at least two months before the annual business meeting.
If the Committee decides against the proposal it shall notify
the sponsor at least one month before that meeting.
