Proposed Amendments to RECOSA Bylaws
At the upcoming November 27th Annual Membership Meeting, one of the agenda items for consideration is proposed amendments to RECOSA’s Bylaws. RECOSA membership will be asked to vote on these amendments at the Annual Membership Meeting.
A RECOSA committee reviewed the RECOSA Bylaws and developed proposed amendments over the last several months. The proposed amendments to the RECOSA Bylaws were presented to the RECOSA Board of Directors on September 4, 2018 at the regularly scheduled monthly board meeting. The RECOSA Board of Directors approved the proposed amendments to be presented to the full RECOSA general membership for vote at the November 27th Annual Membership Meeting.
