New Business: Amendment committee: Bev Stearns presented the Proposal to Amend Bylaws Article 10 for ASC to review and share with constituents.
Discussion and a vote will take place at the March meeting.
Internal Affairs Committee: Jan Peterson presented a proposal to change the structure of ASC which has come about due to the recent changes of the administration.
The proposed changes would group ASC in functional groups rather than VP areas. Also included in the proposal is to reduce
the size of the ASC membership to 35 from 50 to make ASC a more workable group. Implementation regarding these changes were
briefly discussed. Jan would like individuals to e-mail her at jpeters@bgnet.bgsu.edu or Betty Ward at bjward@cas.bgsu.edu
to give thoughts or ideas concerning these changes. Discussion and vote will take place at March meeting.
