Bylaws

The health of an organization is measured by its Bylaws. ASPE's Bylaws provide the organization with a solid operating foundation yet still allow the flexibility required in an ever-changing field.

2025 Proposed Bylaws Amendment:
Merge the Membership and the Online Learning Resources Committees

Summary:
The ASPE Board proposes merging the Membership Committee and the Online Learning Resources Committee (OLRC) into a single committee named the Member Engagement Committee.

Reasons for Merger:

• Aligned committee goals and overlapping work;
• Minimize leadership needs to a single committee, supporting minimal current vice chair support; and
• Streamlines structure and reduces board costs.

If approved by a majority vote of ASPE's membership, the updated Bylaws would reflect the following changes:

   a.   Board role: The Board of Directors (the Board) shall be the governing body of the Association, chaired by the President.
