Bylaws Amendments
This year, the Governance Committee reviewed the RESNA Byalws and proposed the changes linked below. Every other year, we ask the chairs of RESNA’s five independent boards to review their sections of the bylaws and submit any updates or changes for consideration. The Governance Committee reviews all requested changes and sends them to the Board of Directors for approval.
This year's proposed changes include updates to current practice, corrections to grammatical errors, and clarification of roles and responsibilities. In order to make an informed decision, here are resources to help with your voting:
