NOTICE OF VOTE TO AMEND IdEEA’s BYLAWS

The Board of Directors of the Idaho Environmental Education Association proposes changes to the organization’s bylaws.

Background: Over the last two years, the Board of Directors took on the task of revising the organization’s bylaws to make them current, accurate, clearer, and more concise. A number of revisions have previously been made, voted on by the membership and the Board, and adopted. Most of those involved basic editing and accuracy, with few really substantive changes. This current round of proposed changes include more substantive issues that involved some discussion and research.

Proposed action: the Board recommends adopting the revised set of bylaws (file labeled Proposed Bylaws 6-09), replacing the current set of bylaws (file labeled IdEEA Bylaws 3-08).

Solicitation of Input: Consistent with the current bylaws of the organization, the proposed changes are posted for members to review and comment on. The comment period will be open to all members until the Board of Directors meeting on August 26, 2009, when the board will have a final discussion, including member input, before voting. Please direct any input you would like to have the board consider to: info@ideahoee.org.
