ARLIS/Texas By-laws and Chapter Archives Procedures Updates

Last fall the ARLIS/Texas members received a copy of the proposed changes to the By-Laws, the Chapter Archives Procedures and a ballot that was attached to the Fall/Winter 1998 issue of The Medium. After voting, the survey indicated that of the Chapter's 33 members, 24 voted to approve the changes, which exceeded the 22 votes necessary to amend the by-laws. Twenty-four of the 33 members voted to keep the Archives procedures separate. This also exceeds the 22 votes needed to approve the measure.

The Chapter's Executive Committee submitted a copy of the revised by-laws to the ARLIS/NA Board for ratification. As of today, the submission is under consideration, and the Executive Committee members will be notified by the Board and by our present Regional Representative, Pat Lynagh, on the status of our proposal.

The By-Laws Changes Committee was formed in October 1998 to review and revise the Texas Chapter By-Laws and the Chapter Archives Procedures. Its members included: Marty Stein, Janine Henri, Phil Heagy, and Bonnie Reed as Chair.
