We have updated the agenda sent out in the last AGM update to include the details of our guest speaker and a new agenda item to approve the amendments to our Bylaws.  Your Board has been busy over the last 18 months updating and reviewing the Bylaws to ensure they conform to the requirements of ISACA HQ and our local laws.  Chapter bylaw amendments will be approved, at any chapter meeting, by a two-thirds (2/3) vote, provided that the amendment has been submitted in writing at the previous meeting or has been mailed or e-mailed to the entire Chapter membership at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting at which it will be considered.
