From the President

Dick Merkel
EnCana

I believe that the last time we revised the DWLS Bylaws was in 1985. The organization has grown in membership by at least a factor of four since then. Along with the growth, are changes in how we conduct our business and the responsibilities of your Board of Directors. This became quite apparent this past month when we began advertising and recruiting for positions on the Board for the upcoming elections, and potential candidates were inquiring about the responsibilities of the various positions.

I would propose that a committee be formed (including former BOD members) in the fall to review our Bylaws, and come up with recommendations for revisions. An organization the size of DWLS would benefit by having a current framework in which to operate. Please keep this in mind over the next few months and review our Bylaws that are posted on our website. Your input into revisions will always be welcome.
