California moving towards “council” governance

Posted on January 16, 2007 by Nancy

Early word from California is that it is moving towards a bylaws change that would allow a council form of governance — the convention would elect directors and then the directors would elect officers from among themselves.

This may make good sense for states as well as branches.

For a relatively full discussion of this in the context of the branch, see the Governance Resources section of wiki.bbvx.org.

AAUW NC moving forward with changes.

Posted on January 14, 2007 by Nancy

The AAUW NC exec committee, acting as the bylaws committee, moved forward with two initiatives.

Approved working on language to be voted on at the April 20 convention that would allow the state to support a “state-wide” branch.
Approved, in principle, any branch bylaws change that would follow the council form of governance used by branches in New Mexico

More information on both of these changes is available at wiki.bbvx.org/index.php?title=Governance_Resources — see the “Branch without Borders” and the “Council form of branch governance“.
