CAPPA Proposed Bylaws-Your input is requested

Members -

As you all know, CAPPA's top priority right now is advocating for our programs and getting contracts shored up as soon as possible so that we can continue to serve our families and children.  However, we also have Association business that we would greatly appreciate your action on.

Beginning in 2009 the CAPPA Board of Directors undertook the task of updating our Bylaws focusing on currency
and clarity, best practices compared to other professional nonprofit organizations, content that failed to account for technological change, and administrative issues that needed updating.  The CAPPA Board approved the proposed Bylaw changes on May 6, 2010 that are currently being presented for approval. 
 

CAPPA's 2010 Bylaws amendment ballot will present a total overhaul of CAPPA's Bylaws last approved by the membership on January 18, 2008.  To help our members understand and see the current language and the proposed, attached are two documents. 

The first is:
The January 18, 2008 Bylaws with Board approved May 6, 2010 language
This document shows original and proposed changes. 
The second document shows how the Bylaws would look if the proposed amendments were approved

Please return your completed Ballot by June 3, 2010 to CAPPA.  Please return ballot either via email to:  cappa@cappaonline.com or fax: (916)567-6790.
