Our Bylaws
Hello Everyone!
It's time to once again put on your thinking caps. As you saw in the last TuneIN, INBA President Melissa Hahn mentioned there will be a new committee. We are tasked with looking at and updating the bylaws. This does tie in with some of the work that was already done by the Membership Committee. It is our job to take a look at the changes that have occurred in our industry and use that to update some of our bylaws. So, to start out this discussion, I feel like we can start with something that was discussed by the Membership Committee and put before the membership for a vote at the last convention.
Take a look at the current bylaw and what was proposed by the Membership Committee. This particular change was regarding online journalists.
What are your thoughts on the proposed changes? Should we be wording it differently? Should we even consider this at all? You might notice, that there isn't much that was changed or added to the bylaw....but a few words can make a big difference.
I look forward to everyone's feedback! I hope you have all had a great Holiday Season! :-)

The following is what was proposed during the most recent INBA convention. Anything underlined is an addition to the bylaws. Anything in bold and is red is a deletion from the bylaws.
