Mark your calendars. posted July 27, 2014: GOSA bylaws have been drafted and are being reviewed by the board. Once approved, they will be distributed to members. These bylaws were a collaboration by Minnesota law firm that specializes in non-profits, a Paid consultant affiliated with Livestock Conservancy, and GOSA President. 21JUL2013: GOSA Inc BYLAW revisions are underway. Member input is welcome and encouraged. Please send your input on bylaw topics that you request the board to consider. Send your inputs directly to this email address GOSABOARD. The primary driver for the bylaws revision, is to transform the language from a style appropriate for a club to a style more fitting for a non-profit. In addtion to that, these topics have been raised for consideration: a) clarify membership policy (1 per household vs 1 per human, for example). b) Insert language that permits a formal title and volunteer position for Chair of a Committee(s). The draft language for the bylaws will be provided from an attorney/lawfirm who specializes in such matters. Additionally, we are reviewing bylaws from like minded (heritage breed) non profits - they may serve as a good guideline for our purposes. Send your inputs this week - as the bylaw revision process has begun and will continue through the end of this week. 19JUL2012: The 2013 GOSA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday evening, September 8th, 2013 at 6:00PM Central time.
