Janina Mazierska
5 March 2016, Bangkok

2. Background: Discrepancy exists between R10 Bylaws and practice!
9/22/2018

3. Current Practice
The R10 has three Vice Chairs (for Technical Activities, Professional and Membership Activities)
and does not use the word “Office” but “Operations Committee”
This followed an example of R8 and changes at the MGAB level

4. Hence we need to update the Bylaws accordingly!
But in Current R10 Bylaws
There are two Vice Chairs:
Immediate Past R10 Director, and
R10 Director–Elect……
Hence we need to update the Bylaws accordingly!
