Three months ago, the NACM Board of Directors proposed a comprehensive amendment to the bylaws of the national organization. At its meeting yesterday, the NACM Board voted to adopt the amendment. The final step in the amendment process is to provide 30 days for members to object to the Board’s actions. If no objections are raised, the amended bylaws will go into effect in mid-October.

Bylaws are the regulations of an association as they define the structure and administration of an organization. They contain the basic rules for the conduct of the association’s business and affairs, providing guidance about the governing body, its elections and meetings. They also govern the way an organization functions as well as the roles and responsibilities of its Board of Directors and Committees.
