Constitution & By-Law Revisions
March 5, 2021
Last week, we announced that we will be revising the Rotary Club of Indianapolis Constitution and By-Laws. The Constitution and By-Laws have not been updated in over ten years. Over the past few months, the Club Officers and Board of Directors have worked with Club Constitution and By-Law Chair Charlie Meyer to update the documents. Charlie Meyer presented the proposed revisions at our weekly club meeting on March 2 and the proposed changes were distributed in the February 25 e-newsletter. Since then, we have received feedback on the revisions and suggestions for improvement. In an effort to be fair to all concerned we have decided to pause the voting on the revisions at this time.
An updated version of the proposed Constitution and By-Law amendments can be viewed here: Constitution and By-Laws. The prior versions can be viewed here. Starting today through Tuesday, March 16 you have the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed Constitution & By-Law revisions. Below is the timeline for the review and approval of the Constitution and By-Laws. Please contact Charlie Meyer, Constitution and By-Law Committee Chair or President Nick Reich if you have any questions or concerns.
