In cooperation with the CSRT Board of Directors, the Bylaws Committee has proposed two revisions to language related to the leadership of the CSRT.
Please review the proposal below and forward any comments to the CSRT Board through the “Contact Us” link on our website (www.csrt.us). The complete Bylaws of the CSRT may also be found on our website for your reference. The proposal will be voted on during the business meeting of this year’s Annual Conference on October 14.
