Section 1. Membership in the Pleasant Hills Soccer Association is defined as follows:

* Presidential Membership -  An individual who at one time held the board position of President of the Pleasant Hills Soccer Association (but no longer holds this position) is considered to have an "presidential membership" in the PHSA.  Presidential Membership with the PHSA entitles the individual to full voting rights (as described in this article) for life.  This privileged membership is only available to those individuals who served as PHSA president for a term greater than 6 months and who remain active in the club activities.

* Coaching Membership - An individual who has taken an active role as a head coach in the coaching of a PHSA soccer team in any fiscal year (as described in the PHSA by-laws) is considered to have a "coaching membership" in the PHSA.  Coaching Membership with the PHSA entitles the individual to full voting rights (as described in this article) for the duration of the fiscal year in which they provided their coaching services.

* Parental Membership - An individual who is legally recognized as the parent or guardian of a player on a PHSA soccer team is considered to have a "parental membership" in the PHSA for the fiscal year in which their child played soccer for the PHSA.  Parental Membership with the PHSA entitles the individual to limited voting rights (as described in this amendment) for the duration of the fiscal year in which their child played soccer on a PHSA team.  The individual with this membership is eligible for voting in the 3^rd meeting after having attended the two consecutive meetings prior to the meeting in which they cast a vote.
