IMPORTANT! Many changes to the bylaws were proposed, both to comply with the rules of 501(c)(3) organizations within New York State and at the suggestion of the national AAUW office. In addition, some changes have been mandated as the result of voting at last year's national convention. Here is a document which shows the current bylaws (left column), the proposed changes (middle column) and the proposed modified document (right column). These changes were all accepted at the convention. Click HERE for the document.
