If there should be a tie vote for the election of a Section Representative, Article VI, Section 3, will now note that the same tie-breaking process already identified for use in other elections will apply here as well. If a vacancy should occur for the position of either Vice President or Past President, Article VI, Section 5, will clarify that the position will not be filled for normal Council meeting purposes, but will be filled on the Executive Committee. The Wildlifer will be added to the list of TWS publications in Article X, Section 1, and it will be clarified that the Council designates it the official publication of record. Several other minor word or phrase clarifications or deletions will be made to bring the Bylaws into conformance with current conditions. A copy of the Bylaws with the proposed changes also may be obtained from the Society's headquarters for those unable to access the website.
Council recommends that the membership approve the proposed changes.
As required by the Society's Bylaws, a mail ballot will be circulated later this spring.
