The MSA Board proposes a number of changes to the MSA Bylaws to better support the Program Chairs, correct existing errors in the bylaws, and create a process for removing a board member. Proposed changes to the bylaws are highlighted in red here. 

Current bylaws can be found here.

The MSA Executive Board is proposing an amendment to our bylaws in order to create a year of overlap between the incoming and outgoing Program Chairs. The proposed amendment does not change the term of office of the Program Chair, which remains three years. Instead, it specifies that the incoming Program Chair will serve in their first year as the Vice Program Chair, becoming Program Chair in their second year after apprenticing with the outgoing Program Chair. This will ease the transfer process and allow for increased institutional memory.
