Chapter Bylaws

The AGA Southwest Virginia Chapter was founded on March 24, 2001 and operates under bylaws adopted by the chapter membership in accordance with the bylaws of AGA National. The bylaws establish the chapter’s governance structure, including the Chapter Executive Committee (CEC), officer and director positions, membership categories, meetings, elections, committees, fiscal responsibilities, and dues.

The chapter bylaws were most recently revised on March 4, 2024.

Amendments

The power to make, alter, amend, or repeal the chapter bylaws is vested in the chapter membership. Proposed changes may be submitted in writing to the Chapter President-Elect (or President if that position is vacant) by any chapter committee, the AGA National Office, or by written proposal signed by 20 percent of the membership or 3 members of the chapter, whichever is less. Proposals are reviewed by the Bylaws and Procedures Committee and submitted to the membership for a vote, with a two-thirds affirmative vote of members present and voting required for approval.
