AFM Local 47 Bylaws update

At our General Membership Meeting on October 28, 2024, a Resolution to amend the Bylaws was presented concerning the scheduling of quarterly General Membership Meetings (Article VIII, Section 1).

Due to the lack of quorum, a Special Executive Board meeting was held so that the Board could act upon the Resolution, which was recommended for a YES vote by the Legislative Committee. Several members asked questions and offered various opinions, suggestions and recommendations. Of the seven Board members present, all unanimously voted in favor to pass the Resolution.

Local 47 members may read the Resolution by logging in to your online account at ensemble.afm47.org, selecting DOCUMENTS, and clicking the link under the “Resolution to Amend the Bylaws” ribbon. (If you have not yet logged in to our new system, please view the instructions here.) The revised set of Bylaws may also be accessed under the “Other Members-Only Documents” ribbon.
