“The original Valley Winds bylaws were finalized on 16 October 2016. Since that time, the Valley Winds Board of Directors determined that the bylaws were not adequate in addressing state of Massachusetts requirements for bylaws. Further, the bylaws included numerous, burdensome administrative requirements of the board and its structure that are no longer or never became relevant to the organization. A review of the bylaws was conducted, a revision of the bylaws drafted, and a revised set of bylaws approved by the Board on 15 July 2022. The general or broader changes made to the Valley Winds bylaws include clarifying the existing one class of members, eliminating mandated committees that were unnecessary in favor of ad hoc committees when needed, and eliminating administrative procedures more appropriate for board policy statements. Additions and changes were made to address state law requirements, including: admission and expulsion of members; election and removal officers; the number of members required for a quorum; the adoption, amendment and repeal of by-laws; the purposes to which the funds of the corporation may be applied and for which assessments may be laid upon the members”
