    MAGERT members,

    You will see on the upcoming spring ballot, a notice to vote on updates to the bylaws.  Our last update was in 1991.  Since that time, the Round Table has implement new procedures and dropped others, including changing from Robert’s Rule of Order to Sturgis to be consistent with ALA procedures.  Other updates include clarifying the roles of officers and merging the current Constitution and Bylaws into this, a more streamlined document.  Two items of special note are the revised purpose statement (Article II), and the expansion of virtual attendance and participation.  For background reading, you may find the Bylaws and Constitution which are currently in place in the MAGERT Handbook, online at: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/magert/governance/appendixa.cfm

    The proposed revised bylaws are attached below.  

    Sincerely,

    Kathy Weimer, 

    Bylaws Committee, Chair
