Bylaws Review

Stacey noted that last year the Board approved an amendment to the bylaws, which was adding additional Board members, however, a full amendment of the bylaws was not approved. A thorough review of the bylaws needs to be conducted by identifying one member of the committee to conduct a review and make suggestions. Once suggestions are brought forth, then the committee will have a full discussion of those suggestions. Aba volunteered to conduct the bylaws review. The first draft of suggestions will be discussed at the November meeting.
