A Report on that project was presented by the Bylaw Committee to the Board on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. The Board accepted the Report of the Bylaw Committee and directed that the Bylaws, while not finalized and still in Working Draft form, be published for members to read and make any comments or suggestions for the Bylaws they feel would be helpful.</p>
<p>Therefore, anyone having comments or suggestions for the Bylaws they feel would be helpful, please contact one of your board members before the end of July which is the absolute deadline. Their contact information can be found on the LAHBPA website.</p>
