CHANGE BYLAWS TO:

ARTICLE XVI - REVISIONS AND AMENDMENTS

Section 1. These Bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the NvAND Board of Directors (BOD). Written notice of the proposed change will be made available to all members of the NvAND Board of Directors who are entitled to vote stating what is recommended and why it is recommended to be changed. Members will be notified at least 3 days after the BOD vote results are recorded. Method of voting will be determined by the Board, and may include electronic voting via survey.

Justification: By changing to a BOD vote only, NvAND initiatives would be executed more quickly and efficiently, with the opportunity for immediate implementation. As part of the election process, NvAND members have the opportunity to have their voices heard in terms of who they’d like to see as the leaders of this organization. Therefore, the voices of members will continually be heard through the voice of the BOD representative.

If we keep the current verbiage, all NvAND members will have a full say-so in all decision-making for the year, but is only voted on once a year, delaying many actionable items that may be necessary to update as they come up. This could potentially hinder the speed at which we can implement new items/initiatives/methods/policies, etc.
