Bylaws Amendment
Your association’s Board of Directors also has recommended amendments to the association’s bylaws. These amendments are part of a routine review of the bylaws for compliance with the law as well as amendments that have been proposed to improve the association’s ability to respond to a changing housing, construction, and real estate development industry. These amendments are in three key areas:
- Implement reforms to the association’s membership model.
- Shorten the bylaws by removing matters that are better addressed in policy, particularly matters that may need to be changed frequently to adjust to a changing association business environment that will help the association remain relevant.
- Address any changes in law or mandates from affiliated associations.
