WAG Members to Vote on Revised Bylaws
July 14, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
A bit of history: On November 16, 2008, the Bylaws for the Writers Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) were presented in writing to WAG’s Executive Committee, signed by then-President Wendy Thornton, and subsequently approved unanimously by the general membership. Since that date, WAG has grown from about 50 members to over 200; and the Bylaws have been updated twice, once in 2015, and again in 2020.
At a June 9, 2024, meeting, the WAG Board approved the latest revision which includes a Code of Conduct for Board Members. WAG members will be asked to approve these Revised Bylaws at the next monthly meeting on Sunday, July 14, 2024.
Please click here to review the Revised Bylaws. Note that additions/changes are shown in red. In addition to the Code of Conduct for Board Members (Section 5 E) and a few other minor additions, the document has been made more friendly. For example, at the suggestion of a highly respected member who was in the original 50, the word shall is now will when it relates to the duties of numerous volunteer positions.
