Charter and By-Laws

The changes to the Charter and By-Laws were approved by a vote at the General Membership Meeting on September 28, 2019.

9/11/2019: After listening to membership feedback at the first 2 town hall meetings, the Proposed By-Laws were modified. These changes are summarized on the Charter and By-Laws page and have also been incorporated into the By-Laws document available on that page.
