The LPA EC passed a resolution to create a bylaws revision committee, open to any LPA member with voting privileges. The first meeting of the committee will be held on January 9th, at the Baton Rouge Marriott. Chair of the committee is Dr. Phil Griffin. A message from Dr.Griffin and Gail Lowe, Executive Director, noted, “All LPA members who are eligible to vote and who are interested in how the organization operates are invited to serve on this committee.” To be a member of the committee, individuals must attend the first meeting, or be approved by the committee.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 8 am and adjourn at 4:30. A continental breakfast will be served and coffee provided.
In the original draft of the resolution, changes created by the committee may be offered for action by the membership at the 2010 annual meeting or at a special meeting called for considering any proposed changes.
A group of LPA members, and members of Grassroots, had requested that the EC create a bylaws revision committee, in order to study and improve the bylaws of the association.
LPA has retained the services of Mr. Alan Jennings, professional parliamentarian, to assist the organization to resolve its problems. (See related story, Parliamentarian, this issue.)
