NASW Illinois Chapter Bylaw Amendment
In 2009, the NASW Illinois Chapter Board of Directors approved a re-districting plan of the Illinois state chapter. With the upcoming 2012 board elections, this transition will be complete. To complete that transition, one small bylaw change that essentially ensures equal turnover in board representation is now posted on the chapter website. This is accordance with Article XV of the NASW Illinois Chapter Bylaws:
The NASW Illinois Chapter bylaws may be amended by a vote of two-thirds of the board of directors representing fifty percent of the districts in attendance at a regularly called meeting, provided that the proposed bylaw amendment has been published and distributed to chapter members at least three weeks prior to the meeting.
A copy of the proposed bylaw amendment can be viewed here and is open to comment from chapter members.
