Official Notice of Proposed Amendments to ACA Bylaws; Special Meeting of the Membership
As announced in October 2011, ACA International continues to make progress on updating our international trade association’s governance structure.
On Dec. 15, 2011, the ACA Board of Directors met in Dallas to consider the governance proposal, including proposed amendments to the ACA International Bylaws and Standard Operating Procedures, as well as a plan to implement an effective transition from the current to the proposed governance structure.
After extensive discussion and consideration, the ACA Board of Directors amended and approved changes to the ACA International Bylaws and Standard Operating Procedures as well as the transition plan.
The next phase of this historic process is to present the proposed ACA International Bylaws and transition plan (as approved by the ACA Board of Directors) to the ACA membership for consideration.
Official Notice of Proposed Amendments to ACA Bylaws
Pursuant to ACA Bylaws and Standard Operating Procedures, this message serves as official notice of proposed amendments to the ACA International Bylaws. The governance proposal is available on ACA’s website at: http://www.acainternational.org/gtf (member login required). The link includes:
