Proposed Bylaw Changes for November 2016

NASSS Bylaws – Approved November 2015

The above documents include an outline of the proposed changes to the bylaws as well as the most recent version of our bylaws passed in 2015.  Please note there are 3 proposed changes to the bylaws (with rationale) and 2 new amendments to the bylaws. Each of the 5 amendments (3 changes, 2 new) will be voted on during the business meeting held during the conference on Friday night.  I appreciate your review of the proposed changes.

According to the current bylaws:

Section 2: Bylaws.

These Bylaws may be amended at any annual meeting by two-thirds of the votes cast by members with voting rights present or represented by proxy. Amendments may be proposed by any member with voting rights in NASSS. Proposed amendments must be submitted in writing, with supporting arguments, to the President no later than ninety (90) days before the opening of the annual meeting. The President shall review all proposed amendments but make no substantive changes in a proposal without the consent of the originator. The President shall electronically notify every member of amendment proposals no later than thirty (30) days before the opening of the annual meeting.
