2021 ADMEI Bylaws Update

At its 30 November 2021 board meeting, the ADMEI Board of Directors voted to recommend the following two revisions to the association’s Bylaws to accurately reflect practices that ADMEI is already following and to update volunteer requirements to strengthen our leadership and succession planning.  For your convenience, the two updates are listed below in red, and the complete updated bylaws (with track changes and footnotes) can be accessed here.  

If approved by the membership, the changes will become effective immediately.  Voting closes January 1, 2022.  After reviewing, please cast your vote at the bottom of this page.  Questions?  Contact Val Delaney, Executive Vice President.
