Dear Colleagues,
The ASHI Bylaws Committee, consisting of David Kiger, Olga McDaniel, Julie Ward, Siva Kanangat, Elise McPherson, Lori Osowski, and Cathey Klimek, is submitting an amended version of the ASHI Bylaws to the Society members for comment on three (3) revisions:
1. Article II, Section 3. The addition of the words "who were not prior full members" to the first sentence of the Technologist Members, Student/Fellow Members and International Associate Members paragraphs.
Rationale: This is a "housekeeping" amendment to codify a policy which has long been observed and enforced. It was brought to light by the Membership Committee. The Bylaws Committee recommends approval.
2. Article VI, Section 2, item 3. The addition of the words "or email address."
Rationale: During the bylaws revisions of 2011 provision was made to allow electronic balloting. These revisions were approved by the membership. The addition of these words is a "housekeeping" amendment requested by the Board of Directors and recommended for approval by the Bylaws Committee.
3. Article X, Section 2, item 2. Slight change to wording.
Rationale: Some words in this item need to be updated to conform to the 2011 approved revisions. It is another "housekeeping" amendment, submitted and recommended for approval by the Bylaws Committee.
Accompanying this letter is a redline version of the
revised Bylaws. Your comments are important to us. Please take time to review the proposed changes and submit your comments to Leslie Clark at lclark@ahint.com no later than April 23, 2012. At the conclusion of this 30 day comment period, your comments will be reviewed and considered by the Bylaws Committee. This will allow us time to consider the comments and distribute the revisions for a vote in time for them to be active by the ASHI Annual Meeting. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David Kiger, CHS
Chair of the Bylaws Committee
