Election Results for Changes to ByLaws and Stated Policies
The ACV membership chose not to vote on the proposed changes. The ByLaws Committee was requested to use the current ByLaws and Stated Policies as the starting point and then update the proposals off of those documents. At present, older versions of the ByLaws and Stated Policies were being used as the starting point.
