+Changes to the Society Bylaws were [[Bylaws (2010)|passed in 2010]], but rejected by Alberta Corporate Registries, as they did not include a section of "Special Meetings."  An [[Bylaws (2011)|updated version]] is proposed for the 2011 AGM.
 ==Summary of Changes Proposed in 2011==
 *8. - The "meetings of the membership" section was divided into a "General Meeting" and "Special Meeting" subsections to meet the requirements of the Alberta Government.  The rules surrounding these meetings remain the same.
 *6.e. - A fixed date for the beginning and end of Board terms has been set in place, starting and ending Board terms on December 1 each year.  The AGM is now required to happen on or before December 1 (previously was December 31).
-:'''Rational
+:'''Rationale''':Currently the Board changes over immediately after the AGM, and there's very little transition.  While it's still possible with these changes that a late AGM could be scheduled, it's expected that we'd stick to our September-ish schedule, and have more overlap between the old and new board.
