Revising bylaws with collegiate 4H

At one of the 4H meetings I had mentioned about looking at the bylaws and saw that they were really out of date. I suggested that we make one of the meetings dedicated to revising the bylaws for the club. They agreed to do it the following meeting which was two weeks after I had made the announcement.

When it came down to it we looked over each section of the bylaws and talked about what could be changed based on how the club is now. I came to find that people can be really stubborn when it comes to change. Especially when it could tamper with the Assembly's roots. After some discussion, we decided to just focus on the officer section of the bylaws.

What was changed:

• News reporter changed to news reporter/social media chair. We wanted to change this title so that way it was more up to date with how information is given out in today's world

• Ag student council representative turned into Ag student council representatives, they wanted to pluralize the position so that way it was understood that they wanted more than one person to represent collegiate 4H at the council meetings.

• They did away with the position of banquet representative because it was a position that was in conjunction with the teach Ag society, which is no longer a club here on campus anymore. 

After all the decisions were made I would say I really benefited from seeing all the conversation that can come out of discussing an assembly's bylaws.
