What is the deadline for submitting proposed amendments to the national bylaws?

The deadline for submitting proposed amendments to the national bylaws is April 1. This date is significant because it aligns with the timelines set by the organization for ensuring that all proposed changes are reviewed and considered before important events, such as the national conference. Submitting amendments by this deadline allows for adequate time for discussion, evaluation, and voting by the necessary governing bodies.

The other dates do not align with this specific requirement, as they are either too early or too late, thereby impacting the procedural process of reviewing amendments before implementation or consideration during official meetings. Understanding this timeline is crucial for members who wish to propose changes to ensure their amendments are timely and relevant.
