Bylaw Amendments

Linked below are the proposed changes to the AAFSC bylaws that came about due to an oversight in the current bylaws and changes to the way banks currently operate.  It is important that these changes be incorporated with the installation of new officers so they can be allowed to control the finances of the organization.  At the annual meeting on June 20, we will request that the membership waive the rule requiring a vote to approve the bylaw changes at a second membership meeting at least two weeks after the first reading.  Per Robert’s Rules, as long as no voting member objects to taking a vote to approve the bylaw changes at the same meeting as the first reading, we can waive our bylaw rule and take a vote to accept the new bylaws.
