Bylaw Change

The AOG membership approved the bylaw amendment proposed by the Board of Directors.

Election Specifics

  • 8,360 eligible members of the Association of Graduates voted.
    • Quorum was achieved with 28.2% voting.
  • Our Bylaws describe how amendments are approved. Per Article XII, Section 3:

    "All amendments to Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation must be submitted to a vote of the members. A quorum of 25 percent of the membership eligible to vote is required for the vote to be valid. The amendment must be approved by the majority of that quorum."

    • So, with 8,360 members voting, at least 4,180 + 1 must have voted "Approve" for the amendment to pass.
    • Final election returns:
      • Approve 5,638
        Disapprove 2,452
        No Selection Made 270
