Dear AAMS Member: Many of you will remember a proposal sent to you last summer from the AAMS Board of Directors recommending a series of changes to the AAMS dues structure, bylaws and governance structure. At the time, those recommendations were sent to the membership with the request for feedback.

Since that time, we have received feedback from many of you, some individually and some at the Annual Membership Meeting in Tampa, Florida last September. That feedback was collected and reviewed by the Board of Directors.  The Board understood that there was a lack of consensus around the proposal, and created a special task force of the membership and asked that task force study the issues being faced by the association and the community as a whole, and to come back to the board with a recommendation on how to move forward.

That task force met in January of this year, and I am happy to report that a consensus was reached around a recommendation for consideration. Minutes of the task force meeting, explaining the recommendation along with the rationale behind those recommendations, have been prepared, and a series of PowerPoint slides have been created to explain the highlights of those recommendations. Links to these documents can be found below, along with a copy of the original proposal sent to the membership last summer and additional supporting documents from the past year's worth of work.
