WNCA Bylaw Changes Approved

In a unanimous vote, the Wissahickon Neighbors Civic Association approved a number of minor bylaw changes at its meeting Monday.

Here are the changes:

• The amount of trustees allowed has been changed from three to five to at least three because the association currently has more trustees than is allowed in the bylaws.

• Changed the rule that nominees for office must have been a member in good standing for at least one year and attended five of the last 12 meetings. Now nominees would only have to be a member in good standing for one.

• The change decreased the number of required annual meetings from 12 to 10. The change has already been instituted by the group but now it is official.

• The membership period has been changed from Jan. 1 to Sept. 1.

• Article XIII, which stated that membership dues needed to be paid at a meeting, has been deleted to allow people to mail dues in.
