Revising Local 21's Bylaws

One year ago, at theJanuary 31, 2009 meeting of the Delegate Assembly, the Bylaws Committee presented you with a draft Revision to the Local 21 Bylaws. Following that meeting, the document was posted here on Local's website and members were encouraged to provide comments.

In April 2009, the Bylaws Committee met to carefully review and incorporate member suggestions.

The Bylaws Committee has now completed its work and has presented the final proposed Revision to the Executive Committee.

At its January 21 meeting, the Executive Committee voted to forward it to the Delegate Assembly with a request that the Delegate Assembly authorize putting the proposed Revision to a vote of the entire membership with a recommendation that the Revision be adopted.

The documents below highlight all the changes that were made to the January 2009 draft Revision in response to member input.

The Bylaws Committee consists of: Maura Baldocchi, chair; Florence Inserto, Jeff Levin, Ananth Prasad, Andy Russo (the four area vice presidents in office, 2006-2008); Lois Scott (president, 2006-2008). Assisting the committee are Local 21 Executive Director Bob Muscat, Local 21 Executive Assistant Sarah Clark, and attorney Peter Saltzman.
