TBA YLD to Hold Annual Meeting; Consider Bylaw Amendment

Posted by: Katharine Heriges on May 31, 2016

On June 17, the Tennessee Bar Association Young Lawyers Division will hold its Annual Meeting, in which all young lawyer members of the TBA are invited to attend and participate.

The meeting will take place at 4 p.m. at the Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville, located at 777 McGavock Pike.

At the meeting, an amendement to the Young Lawyers Division bylaws will be up for consideration. The amendment concerns changing Article XI of the bylaws regarding how the bylaws can be amended in the future. The following is the text of the proposed amendment, with changes to the current bylaw underlined:

Upon the recommendation of the Long Range Planning Committee, these Bylaws may be amended by (1) a two-thirds vote of the members of the Division present and voting at any annual membership meeting; (2) a two-thirds vote of the members of the Division present and voting at any meeting of the membership of the Division properly called by the President; or (3) a two-thirds vote of the voting members of the Board. No amendments to the Bylaws may be made until ten (10) days notice has been given to the membership as to the facts and contents of the proposed amendments. Upon such approval by the Division or Board, such amendments shall be presented for approval to the Board of Governors of the TBA and no amendment so adopted shall be effective until so approved.
