SWAN Board:
The Bylaws Committee have completed their final review and updates to the redlined doc and
are happy to share that with you today, for your final review and feedback due to us by
Friday, July 14th. This will allow us time to discussion and incorporate your suggestions,
but still get the revised doc to the membership in time for their 45 day review and then
vote at the September Quarterly meeting.
We have also attached a short memo draft to this document, which highlights the main
changes that were made. We welcome any suggestions or input to this document as well.
Also, please note that we have a number of "parking lot" items for discussion in
future years for potential bylaws changes. We decided to leave these until after Strategic
Planning and the addition of the New19, and include the following:
* School libraries/linked to public
* Joining Fee (board determines, membership determines, amounts?)
* "Active Membership" when live and circulating, when to pay fees (i.e. New
19)
* Quorum - Quarterly a meeting of the board? Of the membership?
Let us know if you have any questions,

Hi Brande,
Greta job with the edit. I added comment and highlighted a few typos and spacing issues.
I also added a comment about consistent language with the bulleted items requiring a
vote.
Thanks to the committee!
