REMINDER - The correct way to introduce a Motion: A member makes a motion by saying "I move that..." or "I move to..." The proper wording is never "I motion to..." because a motion is something you make, not something you do (a Motion is a noun, not a verb).

Minutes Required for Signature Changes at a Bank
Approve Changes in a Board or Committee Meeting - Most financial institutions require formal Minutes authorizing the change. Ensure the change is approved by the appropriate governing body (e.g., board of directors, executive committee) and recorded in the meeting minutes. The minutes should include:
- Date of the meeting
- Motion made and approved to change signers
- Full names and roles of those being removed
- Full names and roles of those being added
- Name of the account(s) affected and the last 4-digits of the account number
Tip: Use language like:
"I move to REMOVE Jane Doe and John Smith as authorized signers on the “Name of the account, and the last 4-digits of the account number” and to ADD Mary Johnson (Treasurer) and Tom Brown (President) as the new authorized signers."
"I move to REMOVE Jane Doe and John Smith as authorized signers on the “Name of the account, and the last 4-digits of the account number” and to ADD Mary Johnson (Treasurer) and Tom Brown (President) as the new authorized signers."

Parliamentary Procedure
Parliamentary procedure provides a clear and consistent framework for conducting effective meetings. It helps ensure that every member has an opportunity to participate, discussions remain focused, decisions are made fairly, and the business of the club moves forward efficiently. Understanding these procedures also helps protect the rights of both the majority and the minority while creating an organized and respectful meeting environment. Altrusa international has provided a video presentation presented by Altrusa International Parliamentarian, Colleen M. Duris, PRP-R to help you feel more confident using parliamentary procedure in your Altrusa meetings and strengthen your club’s ability to conduct business effectively.
