Thanks for taking a look.

Spell check could be useful--there are several items that could use it.

The other big thing that jumps out to me is that if there's a problem student (or mentor) and 2/3 of the membership can't agree that there's a problem, then there is no recourse as far as removal. I would add in something allowing for coaches/mentors/teachers and/or the officers to apply an indefinite suspension in egregious cases while further discussion continues. Oh, and it's normal in such cases for any "problem persons" to NOT be allowed to vote. Might want to put in a phrase about "except the person(s) in question" on that secret ballot.
