Bylaw amendment proposal results were as follows:
Article VI – Board of Directors
In Favor – 72
Against – 10
Article IX – Nominations and Elections – Balloting and Tabulation
In Favor – 78
Against – 4
Article XV – Amendments to the By-Laws – Amendments by Membership

Based on current by-laws, we are required to have a majority of our membership vote in favor of a proposal in order to modify the by-laws. Therefore, although those who returned their ballots were overwhelmingly in favor of the proposals, these amendments did not pass.
