By-Laws Revision
July 2001 - April 2002

The Williamsburg Civic Association by-laws were last revised in 1976 and were badly in need of updating. We tried to maximize opportunities to participate in the revision process.

• The old by-laws were deployed here on the web site in July 2001 and we invited community comments in the form of line-in/line-out text changes by 31 August 2001.
• The Executive Board met several times over the winter 2001-2002 to come up with a draft revision.
• A draft revision was sent out to all 1100 Williamsburg residents in the March 2002 newsletter.
• At our 26 March 2002 membership meeting, we discussed the issue briefly. Virginia Berg, who is a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians, provided copies of her proposed changes and answered questions.

At our membership meeting 23 April 2002, continued this discussion, made a few additional changes, and voted to accept the new bylaws.
