Below you will find links to proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Association. The proposed amendments have been reviewed by the Rules Committee, the Board of Directors and the membership by an informational mailing. Comments on the amendments were received by email and at the Annual Business Meeting of the AAPM in Washington, D.C. The process began nearly a year ago, and the final step is a vote by the membership. For each amendment, a 2/3 majority vote is required to pass. To assist you in your review of the proposed amendments I have included:
Please review this information and vote electronically to indicate approval or rejection of each amendment. Your vote must be received by the Secretary at AAPM Headquarters no later than Wednesday, 9/21/2016 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. |
