Bylaw Amendments 2025

The Club’s bylaws have not been updated since 2010. Since then, there have been changes in the Washington State Nonprofit Corporation Law, which governs the Club, changes in technology, and changes in the Club’s operations, all of which ought to be reflected in our bylaws.

A copy of the proposed bylaw changes has been emailed to all current members, and we will be introducing the proposed changes at the March 18 General Membership Meeting. The Board expects to ask the membership to vote to approve the final wording of the changes at our Fall 2025 General Membership Meeting. One important change we are proposing is to streamline the bylaw amendment procedure!

A complete copy of the bylaws, with the proposed changes shown in track changes, is here.

A brief explanation of each change and the reasoning behind it is here.
