“There were changes to the Bylaws. First, the terms for Directors changed. Directors will have a three year term and can only serve two consecutive terms before they are required to vacate their position for at least a year. Existing directors will have staggered terms based on seniority. Second, a designation for an "Annual Meeting" was added. The Annual Meeting will take place every year in March and will include the election of officers.”

“Each Board member will receive a copy of the 990 electronically along with the agenda for the Board Meeting so that they will be prepared to discuss it at the meeting. In addition each member will be given a printed copy at the beginning of the meeting.”

“Each officer, employee or agent of TYD shall perform his duties in a manner consistent with good business practices and shall avoid self-dealing. In order to assure compliance with the Arizona conflict-of-interest laws, A.R.S 38-501., the Governing Board adopts the following policy:* A member of the TYD Governing Board or a TYD employee shall refrain from voting upon or otherwise participating in any manner as a Board member or employee in any contract, sale, purchase, or service to the, or any decision TYD, if the Board member, his dependent, employee, or a relative of the employee has a substantial interest in the contract, sale, purchase, or service. Each Board member or employee to whom this paragraph applies shall make known any such substantial interest in the official records of TYD maintained for this purpose in the Executive Director's office. Any Board member or employee who might be affected by the provisions of this policy shall refer to A.R.S 38-501 through 38-505 for further definition of terms used in this policy. A copy of these statues is available for review in the Superintendent's office.* No Board member or employ shall supply to the TYD any equipment, material, supplies, or services unless authorized by A.R.S 15-2013, 15-323, 38-503(C), and the Procurement Rules, Rules R7-2-1001., Arizona Administrative Code. In addition to other requirements imposed by law, and except as provided below, all purchases of supplies, materials, or services from a Governing Board member shall be competitively bid. Notwithstanding the above, TYD may purchase supplies, materials, and equipment not exceeding three hundred dollars ($300.00) in cost in any single transaction, not to exceed a total of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in any twelve-month period, from a Board member without the use of competitive bidding.* No Board member or employee may use or attempt to use his official position to secure any valuable thing or valuable benefit for himself that would not ordinarily accrue to him in the performance of his official duties, which thing or benefit is of such character as to manifest a substantial and improper influence upon him and respect to his duties.* Unless express approve is received from the Governing Board, an employee or Board member who is in the position to influence or decide from whom TYD shall purchase goods and services may not accept gifts or other gratuities of other than nominal value from vendors or contractors soliciting business from Tucson Youth Development.”
