Constitution & Bylaws Committee Report

This report discusses the proposal to amend the APPNA bylaws for improved BOT structure, outlining advantages of EC members as part of BOT, new BOT election process, committee appointments, BOT powers, and achieving a successful transition. The proposed changes aim to enhance representation, clarify duties, and empower the BOT to act effectively within the organization. The process includes electing 8 trustees from 4 regions for 4-year terms, with elections held every 2 years. Applicable checks and balances ensure smooth execution of the new BOT model. A modified Census Bureau Map reflects membership strength for trustee elections. Existing and upcoming trustee terms are detailed, highlighting the trajectory for trustee roles in 2018 and 2020. The report also addresses amendments to the CABL process and outlines the path forward for implementing these changes within the organization.
