Previously, a majority of 15 members could decide on association business, including changes to the bylaws. We believe that a larger representation is necessary to ensure that significant decisions reflect the broader membership. Roles and responsibilities the roles and responsibilities of our past president and president-elect have been increased. This change supports our ongoing succession planning efforts, ensuring that the association maintains its ability to conduct business effectively.

Authority on committee chairs the authority to establish committee chairs has been shifted from the president to the board of directors, ensuring a more collaborative decision-making process. Residency requirement for presidents we now require that only individuals who live in arizona can serve as president of the association. Nomination process for presidents presidential nominees must now receive three nominations, one of which must come from the board of directors.
