New Bylaws and Organization Chart Approved

At the March meeting of the Holt Band Boosters changes to the organization and by-laws governing the group were approved unanimously. As the band has grown so too have the number of parent volunteers involved and responsibilities of the organization. In order to keep up with these changes the changes to the bylaws have been implemented to more carefully align the structure of the organization with the functions performed.

A new organization chart now shows titles for both elected and appointed positions organized by their functional role. Many assumed responsibilities are now clearer and better defined. The hope is that it makes it easier for new members in particular to understand where to go and who to turn to for any given question. You can download a copy of this new organization chart here.

The By-laws governing the organization have been revised in order to reflect the new organizational structure and clarify many of the processes as they were previously defined. You can download the new By-laws below. To better understand what has been changed there is also a version below that contains the original language together with the changes.
