BHNA BYLAW REVISIONS

• Updated job descriptions, particularly for the Community Projects Coordinator and Corresponding Secretary, whose roles have changed over the years.
• Updating the Vice President description to be less about managing the membership roles.  Given how membership roles have been linked with payment, this has effectively shifted over to the Treasurer in their role.
• A rigorous process for helping with membership counseling and possible removal was added. Previously, the President conducted membership outreach, which made things seem personal when they were not.
• Numerous grammatical changes.

I will discuss this at tomorrow’s meeting.   As you find things, please feel free to reach out directly via email or ListServ.   We want a final draft available no later than the end of June.  The Executive Committee will then review and advance to a final vote at the July meeting.
