May 18, 2020 Dear UAFP Member, In accordance with our bylaws, we are asking for your vote in favor of changes the Board of Directors is recommending to our current bylaws. A simple majority of votes received is required to approve changes. Voting will be open through 5:00pm, June 18, 2020. Below is a summary of the proposed changes: 1. Consistency/grammatical accuracy changes throughout the document. 2. Setting number of board members as no more than 24. 3. Establishing a term limit for board membership of no more than three (3) three-year terms. 4. Addition of student and resident representatives as non-voting board members. 5. Clarifying voting and non-voting members of the board and quorum requirements. 6. Shortening the time frame for board/delegate nominations and voting from 60 days to 30 days. 7. Term of Treasurer changed from 3 years to 2 years. 8. Delegate roles were changed from full board membership (so as not to increase our board numbers and quorum requirements). If not already a board member, they become a non-voting ex-officio member. 9. Committee descriptions and makeup. 10. Shortening the time frame for communication and voting on bylaw changes from 30 to 14 days.

Thank you, Maryann Martindale, Executive Director |
