2011 Constitutional Amendment Proposals APSA has received three petitions to amend the APSA Constitution. One proposal has been submitted by a petition of APSA members. The other two proposals have been submitted by the APSA Council. All refer to proposed changes to elections and officers of the Council. All three amendments will be placed on the agenda of the APSA All Member Business Meeting held on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 12:15pm. If an amendment receives the support of 40% of the present and voting members at the business meeting, the amendment will be placed on the ballot for an all-member vote. Go to the APSA governance documents page to read the current constitution, by-laws, and business meeting rules for background on the current roles regarding elections of officers and on procedures for changing constitutional amendments.
