WLCT is proposing Amended & restated Bylaws
WLCT Governance Committee has spent over a year examining best practices in modern non-profit bylaws. As a result, WLCT is proposing updates to meet realities unimagined when the Bylaws were created.
Proposed changes support meeting flexibility, provide greater accessibility for members, and update key provisions to meet modern day law. You can find a summary of the changes, along with the proposed Amended and Restated Bylaws, with changes highlighted.
Copies of the proposed Amended and Restated Bylaws can be emailed or mailed to you. Please contact Ross if you have questions.
