WEAU Proposes By-Law Changes

The WEAU Board has proposed some changes to the By-Laws that govern how WEAU functions. The Board periodically reviews the By-Laws to ensure the organization is meeting the needs of the members and working well within the National WEF organization. The last revisions were done in 2004. All members are asked to review the changes and provide any feedback to a board member. The changes will be voted upon with the vote of the Board of Directors at the annual meeting in April. The proposed changes can be viewed here...
