Weigh in on the Proposed Bylaws Amendments

Members Forum, Sept. 15, 2020
Socials: 5:30-6:30PM
Forum: 6:30-8:30PM

PAMANA’s Bylaws were ratified 17 years ago (December 13, 2003) with provisions to amend the Bylaws as times changed.

During the 2018-2019 term, the PAMANA board created an Adhoc Committee to advise the board about potential amendments to our Bylaws.  It met 12 times, contributing over 300 volunteer hours, and ultimately proposed 48 amendments.

During the following term (2019-2020), the board reviewed all 48 proposed amendments, and approved each of them on June 15, 2020, with a revision on July 13, 2020.

PAMANA has now begun its 2020-2021 term, and the next step is ratification by the members.

To ensure that the rights of the members continue to be protected, ratification of each amendment will require approval by two thirds of the participating current Members.

Bylaws and proposed amendments:

Members are invited to attend a Members Forum via Zoom video call on Tuesday, September 15, 6:30-8:30PM to ask questions, provide feedback, voice opinions, or propose alternative or additional amendments.
