Amendments to the Bylaws

Yesterday we held a special meeting of the National Governing Board to vote on Bylaws Amendments. All members were notified of these proposed amendments via email on July 28th (you can view an archive of the communication here).

While the Governing Board passed each proposed amendment, keep in mind these changes do not go into effect until after the close of the NAR BOD meeting with approval in November. Should networks wish to change dues until then, the current bylaws requiring 2/3rds vote still applies. 

National Conference Early Bird Pricing Ends Tomorrow 8/31

The Early Bird Price will end tomorrow for the National Conference. This is an event you won't want to miss, as it brings together our Women's Council community to network, gain valuable insights from inspiring speakers, and participate in engaging sessions and discussions. 

Affiliation Agreements

In case you missed it: We released 2024 Affiliation Agreements to our 2023 President-Elects at Network 360. This is an annual document that needs to be filled out by the 2023 President-Elect of each network by December 31, 2023. Doing this on time is also a network certification benchmark.
