The SAA Council seeks member feedback on proposed amendments to the SAA Constitution and Bylaws.
Upon review and analysis of the SAA Constitution and Bylaws, Council is proposing the two documents be combined into one document. This format eliminates the need to change two documents where there’s overlap, and one document offers simplicity versus referencing two different documents. The proposed document represents current best practices for association management as well as current practices within SAA. The changes outlined below are reflective of the Council’s fiduciary responsibilities, the member experience, and current governance practices. Read more about high-level changes along with rationale.
The proposed revisions will be put forward in an all-member referendum in conjunction with the spring 2023 SAA election ballot. All full individual members, student members, and primary contacts of institutional members who are in good standing on March 1, 2023, will be eligible to vote in the election and referendum.
