For the past year, the Board of Directors has been reviewing the NFHR ByLaws. The requirements for amending these documents are contained in Article XII of the NFHR ByLaws.

The proposed revision of the Bylaws is now complete and ready for review by the NFHR members. Below you will see two buttons; one for the current Bylaws and the second for the proposed Bylaws. These are the proposed changes to the NFHR Bylaws that you will be voting on in a ballot sent out the end of February with your renewal acknowledgement letter. The major changes are highlighted. Changes such as consistency in word usage (i.e. shall and will), grammar, sentence structure, and rearrangement of Articles are not highlighted. We suggest that you review these changes side-by-side with the 2010 version of the Bylaws.

One of the major changes is a Youth Membership category.

Most of the other changes have to do with consistency within the document or better defining the meaning of a section.

All comments are welcome and may be sent to nancy@nfhr.com for distribution to the Board of Directors. The comment period will remain open until Friday, February 22, 2013 at which time the ballots will be prepared and mailed.
