BPS Changes to Constitution & Bylaws

The proposed changes to the Society’s Constitution and Bylaws were approved by 96% of members who voted by the April 20 deadline. The changes eliminated the Executive Board, constituted Council as the Society’s governing body, reduced the size of Council, and required the new Council to meet at least four times per year. The first meeting of the newly formed Council will take place in the spring of 2013. View the updated BPS Constitution & Bylaws here.
