[Phoenix] Phoenix SPS Bylaws

[Schloemanb at aol.com]

Fellow Phoenix SPS Members,
 
The United States Power Squadrons is a dynamic organization ever changing  
and evolving to meet the needs of its members.  Some of the changes  get woven 
into the USPS National Bylaws which govern our operations.   As the national 
bylaws change there are similar changes that need to  be incorporated into the 
district and squadron bylaws to harmonize the operating  units of USPS.
 
Phoenix Sail & Power Squadron last updated their bylaws in November  2005.  
In March 2008 the National Committee on Rules released the 2008  Squadron Model 
Bylaws that integrate the changes approved the USPS Governing  Board as they 
relate to Squadron Bylaws.
 
The Phoenix SPS Rules Committee has reviewed our 2005 Bylaws and recommends  
that it be amended to bring it up to date.  A summary of the changes  involve 
changes to 7 sections, changes to 3 subsections, adding 1 new  section, adding 
4 new subsections, deleting 1 subsection section  and renumbering 1 
subsection section.
 
The deleted subsection is the Thunderbird Award Committee which has been  
moved to the Phoenix SPS Awards document.  This also required the  renumbering of 
the following subsection.
 
A red line mark up document of the proposed amendments has been  prepared.  
It is on our website in MS Word document format and available  for your viewing 
and comment.
