Extraordinary Assembly Convocation to Vote in Board Members

Meetings
#1

Dear members, friends and allies of the Diamante Bridge Collective,

Queridos amigos, aliados y miembros —

We are gathering to put our house back in order, together. It’s time to seat a living Board again, to settle our shared agreements, and to welcome the people who have been walking with us into their rightful place in the circle.

There are two moments to hold on your calendar this week.

Tuesday, June 2 — Nomination Rounds (informal, on Zoom). An open evening to hear who feels called to serve, to put names forward, and to listen to one another before we vote. Nothing is decided here; this is where we gather the slate so that the Assembly a week later is clear and unhurried. Come if you’d like to stand, to nominate someone, or simply to witness.

Tuesday, June 9 — Extraordinary General Assembly (formal). This is where the decisions are made. At this Assembly we will:

  1. Confirm who is present and in good standing;
  2. Elect a full new Junta Directiva (Board) and Fiscalía to fill the vacant seats;
  3. Present and endorse our new Bylaws (membership structure and ways of working that live alongside our Constitution) for formal adoption by the incoming Board;
  4. Receive the updated membership roll, honoring those who have stepped back or gone quiet, and naming those who remain active.

A short word on where each of us stands, so the day is clear and kind.

We are activating the first four Stages of our membership path now. Founders and active members all stand together at Stage 4 Fire Tender, those who carry both voice and vote, and who will cast the votes on June 9. Friends, allies, and apprentices at Stages 1 through 3 are warmly invited to attend and be counted as present. Upon ratification of the new Bylaws, all will have the opportunity to learn about our Membership Framework and the different paths available. This is the beginning of that journey, not the whole of it.

Two things happen after the Assembly, at the first session of the newly seated Board: the formal admission of new members into the books, and the adoption of our internal regulations; the Stages and our way of deciding together. So if you are newly arriving among us, June 9 is your welcome; your formal entry into the register follows close behind, in the Board’s hands.

Please check your email and reply to the convocation message to confirm you’ve received it. That small act matters more than it seems it’s what makes our convocation valid, and it tells us you’re with us (or, not).

With love and in service,

Dani Belle Acting President, Diamante Bridge Collective

The Seats We Are Filling, and What Each One Holds

We are seating a full Board again: seven Board seats plus the Fiscal, the eight positions our Asociación is registered to hold. We are not changing the Constitution in this round, these are the seats already defined.

You will see below both a minimum that keeps the role (and the Asociación) in good standing and lawful, plus a fuller practice that is the ideal. A role carried at only the minimum still holds the line, yet a role carried fully is how we thrive.

The Board (seven seats)

President & Convener. Represents the Asociación, presides over our meetings and assemblies, convenes them on time and with proper notice, co-signs our minutes and any payments, and gives an honest yearly report.

  • Minimum: keep us lawful and in good standing, convene and preside, report each year.
  • Fuller: mentor the people who will one day hold these seats, and tend the continuity of the whole through strategic development and coordination.

Vice President. Stands in for the President, with full authority, whenever the President is away.

  • Minimum: be present and engaged enough to be informed and prepared for stepping in at any time.
  • Fuller: share the leadership responsibilties year-round, not only in absences; be a true collaborative partner.

Secretary. Keeps our books of record, the minutes of assemblies and Board meetings, and the official Member Register; co-signs minutes with the President, handles our correspondence, and keeps our archive in order.

  • Minimum: accurate minutes, an up-to-date Member Register, books legalized with the Registry.
  • Fuller: a living, findable archive the whole collective can lean on.

Treasurer. Cares for our funds: collects any dues, keeps the accounts, co-signs payments with the President, reports the balance to the Board, and gives a yearly financial report.

  • Minimum: clean books, monthly balance to the Board, yearly report, funds safely held.
  • Fuller: build a financial base that rests on no single person’s sacrifice, and expand definition of Treasury to include recording contribution through the many forms of riches that count as capital.

Three Vocales (Board members at large). Carry the consent process as full voting members of the Board, and hold a circle, portfolio, or area of the work. This is where the governance circles will find their stewards.

  • Minimum: show up to the quarterly Board meetings, decide by consent, carry your portion.
  • Fuller: actively lead a circle, mentoring members and cultivating a pathway into the leadership.

The Fiscal (one seat, standing apart)

Fiscal (oversight). Not part of the Board’s executive — an independent watch. Sees that we meet our aims and follow the law and our own agreements, oversees our operations and finances, hears members’ concerns and looks into them, can call an Extraordinary Assembly if needed, and reports yearly to the Assembly. Sits with the Board with voice, but does not vote.

  • Minimum: an honest yearly review; a door open to members’ concerns.
  • Fuller: a trusted, year-round guardian of our integrity and transparency.

Membership — what it asks, and what it offers

Becoming an Active Member (Stage 4 and above) is what carries voice and vote. Here is the floor and the fuller path.

Minimum to hold Active standing (good standing):

  • Sign the Community Covenant / Compromiso Comunitario.
  • Take part in at least one General Meeting a month.
  • Join at least three DBC impact actions a year.
  • Attend at least one General Assembly a year, in person or online.
  • Answer the annual membership review before the yearly Assembly.

Fuller membership:

  • Walk the Eight Stages of Stewardship as a path of growth.
  • Keep a Stewardship Record (through Bloom or similar) of your learning and contribution.
  • Hold a role in a circle; advocate, resource, and weave actively.

Friends, Allies, and Apprentices (Stages 1–3) are warmly part of us with voice and presence, witnessing, learning, contributing on their path toward the vote as they walk toward active membership.

Sources: DBC Constitution (Estatutos), Arts. 15–18; National Registry personería (RNPDIGITAL-321646); Membership Bylaws (Stage model & accountability). A reference, not a change to any of them.
