ACADEMY NEWS: Members to vote on bylaws change

The Academy

5/3/2004

Earlier today, Academy members received either an email or fax alerting them to expect a mail ballot soon. Along with the ballot will be a recommendation from the Board of Directors in favor of the changes proposed to the section of the bylaws on membership eligibility. The recommendation is driven by a desire to continue full privileges of membership for those who have enjoyed them in the past, while welcoming into the Academy new ABC certifees and licensed practitioners who will also have the ability to become Active Members.

The issues at hand are complex and necessitated a 90-day moratorium by the Academy on accepting new members. After several conference calls, the review of the bylaws by the Academy attorney, and continuous exchange of emails, the Board reached its decision.

If, as a member, you did not receive the email or fax alert earlier today, please call the Academy offices at (703) 836-0788 and staff will send you the information and check the address data in your member record.
