Bylaws Committee
Bylaws Committee
Overview
The objective of the Bylaws Committee is to ensure the Society's Bylaws clearly state the established rules of the Society and that the Bylaws of Sections/Associated Societies and Student Sections conform to these rules.
Objectives
The Committee reviews all proposals from the membership and Board that require amendments to the Bylaws. The Committee reviews all new or amended Bylaws of Sections and Student Chapters.
Composition and Membership
The Bylaws Committee functions under and reports to the Immediate Past President. The committee is comprised of a chair appointed or reappointed annually by the President. Committee members are selected by the Committee Chair based on their knowledge and talent and their willingness to devote the time and effort necessary to meet the objectives of the committee.
At the time of appointment (or shortly thereafter), the newly appointed Committee Chair shall name a Committee Vice Chair and communicate the appointment to the President and Executive Director. The Vice Chair shall act as Chair in the absence or incapacity of the Chair and shall, if recommended by the Chair, be the primary candidate for subsequent appointment as Committee Chair. The Chair should give careful consideration to the performance, accessibility, and (where applicable), the technical competence of the Vice Chair, prior to making a recommendation to the President for final approval.
The number of committee members will be determined by the Committee Chair. Committee members must be Active Members of the Society.
