    • President Myszkowski made a copy of the bylaws document and marked it up with highlight
      • Green highlight is any reference to Board meetings. Yellow highlight is any reference to membership meetings.
    • Recommendations for changes, if necessary.
      • While the bylaws are very specific in some areas, around meetings and who can attend them, it is very vague — and we may have done that on purpose. I think we should discuss what our current intentions are in this space tonight at our meeting.
