Temple Bylaws Update

At the Congregation Meeting we will hold the “First reading” of proposed updates to the Vassar Temple Bylaws (also known as “Constitution”).  The Bylaws update has been prepared by a committee led by Bob Abrams, and includes Marge Groten and David Lampell.  The updates relate mostly to changes to the size of the Board of Trustees, reflecting a smaller congregation size, and also include a significant set of updates as required by the New York State Nonprofit Revilitiation Act of 2013.  The updates were prepared by the committee, reviewed by an attorney (Jessica Glass of McCabe & Mack), reviewed several times by the Board, and approved by the Board of Trustees.

There will be a review period for the proposed bylaws updates between May 27 and June 8 during which temple members are encouraged to review the Bylaws updates.  Please send any feedback or questions to Bob Abrams, bobabrams1@gmail.com, or via hardcopy to the Temple office before June 8.
