Changes in by-laws of an ACC Chapter require review and approval of the BOG Steering Committee.
Chapters should follow the following procedure to gain approval:
- Submit proposed by-laws change to the council obtaining a vote in favor of the change by chapter leaders.
- Submit to the Chair of the BOG Steering Committee (via the ACC Chapter staff) a letter outlining the reasons for changing the by-laws and include the proposed new clause(s) and the current clause(s).
- The BOG Steering Committee will vote on the proposed by-laws change at their next meeting. The BOG Steering Committee meets the second Tuesday of every month.
Should you have questions on how to frame a change, please contact Chapter Affairs (chapters@acc.org). If you need stock language, please contact the Chapter Executive Listserv (chapters@list.acc.org).
