APCO Membership to Consider a Bylaws Amendment

At the 2021 Membership Quorum, the voting membership of APCO International will consider a proposal that adds Chapter offices of Treasurer and Secretary to a list of leadership positions within APCO that may only be held by voting-eligible members. The posts of Chapter President and Executive Council Member have long had this same voting-eligible criteria.

The Joint Chapter Working Group proposed this change to Section 3.3 of the Bylaws. The Executive Council on July 31, 2020, and the Board of Directors on September 18, 2020, voted to recommend approval of this amendment by the 2021 Quorum.

For the final and full text of the proposed Quorum amendment, visit apcointl.org/governance and click on APCO Membership Quorum (you will be prompted to enter your membership password).

Pursuant to Policy Manual 2.6:6, only a summary of the proposed Quorum amendment has been published in this magazine. Voting-eligible members of
APCO International are encouraged to download the full text from the above website. Copies will also be available on-site at the First General Business
Meeting of the Annual Conference on August 15, 2021, in San Antonio, TX.
