Welcome & Introductions:

Recap of Leadership/Board Retreat:

• Brief summary of actions taken at the retreat:   

Bylaws

• Proposed Changes to Bylaws: While our bylaws are strong, there are a couple of areas that could use review.  One issue deals with the term of office for the President.  The President's term is presently two years.  When combined with the President Elect and Past Presidents positions, this represents a pretty long commitment.  A proposed change is to reduce the president's term to one year.  If a president wants to, he or she can run for two consecutive terms.  A second proposed change deals with Committees identified in the Bylaws. Most of the committees identified are no longer operating. A proposal is to update language in the By Laws that pertain to Committees.
