Beginning on June 20 (and through July 19), all SIOP Members and Fellows will have the opportunity to vote for two bylaws amendments relating to the Executive Board. In accordance with SIOP Bylaws Article IX (Amendments) Section 1, a notice of these proposed bylaw changes was emailed to the last known address of SIOP Members at least 30 days before the scheduled vote. 

The first proposed amendment is an important change to the SIOP bylaws that would create a new elected officer position. The second proposed bylaws amendment clarifies the eligibility of currently serving officers to stand for election.

I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend the Master’s Student Consortium at this year’s SIOP annual conference in National Harbor, MD.
