Guest Sandra Bearden Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:17 PM Recently a club that I belong to did approximately 3 or 4 revisions to the Bylaws and Constitution. They inserted the changes in a new document, sent out to the members and we had to search to see what they were changing. They sent the changes of the Constitution and the Bylaws together for us to vote on. Can they do this? I thought changes to the Constitution were to made harder than changes to the bylaws and I also thought they had to show the article as it is and show what changes they wanted to make to it. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:26 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:26 PM The Constitution usually should be harder to amend then bylaws but the amendment provisions for both documents determines. As for whether the changes need to be identified in the notice depends on what the amendment provision says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:29 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 at 03:29 PM Check the documents to see what are the specific requirements for previous notice of amendments. If they are silent, the notice must have a "...statement of purport..." that is "...accurate and complete..." RONR (10th ed.), p. 117, ll. 6-11.Just from the facts given, it does not seem to me that the notice was validly given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
