The Community Review Board voted at its August meeting to amend a draft of proposed bylaws to ensure that officers are elected from the board’s membership.

Board Member Brown moved to change Article 6, Section 1 so the officers of the board — chair, first vice chair, second vice chair and secretary — “shall be elected from the membership of the board” and to strike language that implied the chair would appoint other officers. The motion carried by voice vote.

Board members said the change reflects longstanding practice. The amended draft will be the board’s working version of the bylaws moving forward.
