The Governance Committee has opened its periodic review of the bylaws and is inviting comment from committee volunteers before anything goes to a wider vote. A redlined draft showing the proposed changes is in the committee resources, with a short note explaining the reasoning behind each one.

Most of the changes are housekeeping, but a few touch how committees are formed and how terms are set, which is why volunteer input matters here. Comments are open for three weeks; the committee will publish a summary of what it heard along with the final draft.

If you’ve recently joined a committee, the next volunteer orientation is on March 12. It’s a short, practical session covering how committees work here: how agendas get set, where minutes and working documents live, and who to go to when you need something.

Returning volunteers are welcome too, especially if you’ve taken on a new role this year. Bring the questions you didn’t know who to ask, we’ll leave plenty of time for them. A recording and the slides will go in the committee resources afterward.

The Event Committee is putting together the program for this year’s annual meeting and is asking committee volunteers to submit session ideas. If you’ve run a workshop, led a discussion, or seen a topic that keeps coming up in your group, this is the place to bring it forward.

Proposals need a working title, a short description, and the names of anyone helping to run it. The committee reviews submissions on a rolling basis and will follow up with you directly, so earlier is better if you want a slot in the main tracks.
