Bylaws may not be the sexiest of topics but they are an extremely important document that defines purpose, responsibilities, rights, requirements and fundamental rules that govern the Association.

I will outline the two changes below, but I encourage you to download the pdf and read them. (Download Proposed Bylaws)
