The program was very well received and many positive comments were made by all who attended. The Committee should be very proud of a job well done. Because the Executive Board felt the Commission Bylaws needed revision, a committee was charged with bringing a set of proposed changes to the Executive Board and later the general membership. The current bylaws were adopted at a general membership meeting held on December 13, 1996. The Chair of the Board votes only when his or her vote would change the outcome of the vote.
Terms of office remain at two years.
We felt that with a board this size, we should take advantage of an opportunity to have there always be a set of seasoned members and a set of new members. A section on organizational discipline was added to formalize the attendance responsibilities of members of the Executive Board. Revising the bylaws was a very arduous task. The Executive Board is grateful to the members of this committee for making our bylaws both user-friendly and responsive to the needs of the Commission. In addition to our Brown Bag Lunch Series, we've held several other CFW events.
