FSA Updates


On January 14th the Executive Board held an emergency meeting where we voted and passed amendments regarding the first half of the bylaws (Article I - Article VI) and voted to approve the first half of the bylaws. These amendments included fixing grammatical errors found in bylaws, closing any loopholes and areas of concern, and creating two (2) new permanent Executive Board positions. The new Executive Board positions include having a Secretary and Auditor, which are appointed by the President. Attached will be a copy of the first half of the bylaws (Article I - Article VI) highlighting all the changes, corrections, and additions made to the bylaws. During the Emergency Meeting, the Board also voted on a date and time to hold all executive and general meetings using the information recieved from the "Member Availability Survey" sent out earlier this month. 

Highlight Legend: 
Yellow: Corrections
Red: Removed and/or Reassigned 
Green: New Additions

 


We can't wait to meet you all at the activites fair and the FSA interest meeting. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any of the Executive Officers on discord.
