This memo serves as the official notice of proposed revisions to the REA Bylaws. A similar announcement will be posted in our newsletter, website, and social media platforms. When the REA Board of Directors proposes a change to our Bylaws, we follow the procedure outlined below.
ARTICLE X AMENDMENT OR ALTERATION OF BYLAWS Section 1. These Bylaws may be modified, amended, or altered by a two-thirds majority vote at any annual or special meeting of the Association, if the legal notice of such meeting in advance contains a statement of the proposed alteration, amendment, or repeal.
This website article serves as one of several notifications from the Board that they are proposing revisions of the by-laws to the membership. From now until the annual meeting we will observe a period of time during which members can ask questions or make comments to the Executive Secretary and or the Chair of the Board. Following this period we will conduct a vote at the annual meeting of the Association, as is permitted by our Bylaws. Approval of the proposed Bylaws changes requires a two-thirds majority of all votes cast in the election.
Therefore, the Board recommends that members review the highlighted changes in the Bylaws in order to cast their informed vote at the annual business meeting on November 3, 2017, in St. Louis.
