Amendments to ECAG By Laws
At the October meeting it was
voted to change the By Laws as follows:
Starting in January 2009, we will no longer have monthly meetings.
We will have one annual meeting in December of each year.
The President will have the option of calling a meeting as deemed necessary but
must
notify members at least ten days before the meeting.
There will be monthly board meetings and newsletters, with the exception of
June, July and August.
Interested members may attend these board meetings. Time and place of board
meetings will be announced on the website.
While we will not be having monthly meetings, we are planning to have workshops
during the year. The president and vice president will be responsible for
scheduling these workshops and the membership will be notified in the
newsletters and on the website.
The By Laws are posted on our website (www.elmorecountyartguild.com).
