Constitution and By-Laws

You will find enclosed the proposed modifications to our constitution and by-laws, as requested by the By-Laws and Policies Committee. The only modifications we made to the model has been clearly identified, and it is just to insert the branch's name in the text. We also highlighted new paragraphs. For the remainder of the text, there are mostly minor changes to adhere to national by-laws and policies, or references to those by-laws. It is our understanding that the meaning has not changed, only the wording. These new by-laws will be submitted to a vote of ratification at the AGM.
