NATA Updates Bylaws

The NATA Board of Directors approved a series of bylaw updates during its Aug. 25 meeting. 

These updates are substantive changes, which were submitted to each of the districts’ annual business meetings after an initial board approval. Each bylaw then had to be approved by at least two-thirds of the NATA’s districts before being resubmitted to the board for final approval. After receiving final board approval, the new bylaws went into effect immediately.
