Proposed Bylaws
A Special Committee on Bylaws was appointed by Grand Master Brianna Shuman to make the necessary corrections to bring our Bylaws into conformance with the Sovereign Grand Lodge Code of General Laws, and with how the State of Maryland has been operating.
The Special Committee merged the current bylaws into the bylaws outlined in the Code of General Laws to ensure that the rules we are all familiar with are not lost. Some changes were made and are outlined in the Change guide. We would be happy to answer any and all questions about the changes in the Q & A below.
Special Bylaws Committee Q & A
All questions asked of the Special Committee will be posted here, with the answers provided.
Have a question? Email the Committee: bylawsioofmd@gmail.com
The Committee will get back to you with the answer, and post it here for others to see.
While the Committee will see who asked the question, it will be posted anonymously here.
How will we transition from 5 Trustees to 3 Trustees?
Currently, we elect Trustees for three-year terms in the following pattern: Year 1: one Trustee; Year 2: two Trustees; Year 3: two Trustees. In the next years that we would have elected two trustees, we will only elect one. All currently elected Trustees will finish their term as they were elected. This will mean that there will be extra trustees for the next few years.
