NEADTA BY-LAW – MEMBERSHIP VOTING ONBY-LAW AMENDMENTS 

The NEADTA Board continues to center inclusion and transparency in our growing work to further support our student and professional members. Following our recent Board and Annual Planning Committee Meetings, amendments to the current NEADTA By-Laws were collectively determined and we wanted to present these amendments to our NEADTA members to include everyone’s voice in making the following changes to the current By-Laws. Per our current By-Laws:
