ITPA Bylaw Revisions

The board has heard the comments and concerns of the membership and has made two major revisions.

1. Article XIII which gave the board sweeping powers to suspend bylaws, will not be added. 

2. Article IV, Section III is re-worded to give the board some flexibility for potential members. IE: Joel Zaft at Southwest Drivetrain needing to wait 3 years to join.

1. Article IV, Section III - Membership applications will be accepted on board majority instead of three quarters or greater vote.

"Applicants for Primary or Associate Membership shall become Members at the discretion of the board and when approved by majority vote of the Board of Directors. Applications shall be considered by the Board only at its regularly scheduled or special meetings."

2. Article IV, Section VIII - Initially, this was a separate article but moved under Members article. For member payment delinquencies, the verbiage was changed from 3 months of issuance of invoice to 3 months of the year the dues are paying.
