from the President's Message, November and October 2014 GuideStar: Changes to the bylaws of the Houston Astronomical Society were presented to the board by three members of the executive committee - Bill Pellerin (president), Rene Gedaly (vice-president), and Bill Flanagan (secretary). Scott Mitchell has also helped with the review. The purpose of the modifications is to make the document easier to read and understand and to resolve some issues that get in the way of the organization being able to conduct its business. The board voted unanimously to support the adoption of the modified bylaws at its 9/17/2014 board meeting. Bylaws changes must be approved by the membership and will be presented at an upcoming meeting. The summary of changes, proposed bylaws, and existing bylaws documents are linked below:
