PMI-CCVC Bylaws Updated 

Our bylaws were recently updated to better reflect how the Chapter is operating. The only change was that new Board members will take office on July 1^st instead of the January 1^st date contained in the original bylaws. The change occurred because of the timing of the Chapter being chartered and our initial elections being held shortly after the Chapter was formed. 

With these changes in place, the Chapter will be holding an election for the following offices:

• President Elect
• Vice President Member Services
• Vice President Marketing
• Secretary

Nominations will be open from March 15^th to May 18^th.
