Governance

Both documents are version-controlled and maintained by the Bylaws/Policy Committee (Chair: Mark Gauntner; Members: Keith Kuck, Pamela Meara).

• Results are announced at the July general membership meeting.
• Newly elected board members are sworn in at the August general membership meeting.
