Proposed Bylaw Amendment
This year's election includes a bylaw amendment that extends by one month the timeframe during which the annual meeting can be held. If approved, it would allow an annual meeting to be held within a two-month window instead of a single month, which provides added flexibility, increases scheduling options, and may enhance member participation. See proposed amendment here.
