Upcoming Changes to Our Constitution and By-Laws

To ensure the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association complies with New York State law, we have updated our By-Laws to incorporate explicit language regarding our Conflict of Interest Policy.

Additionally, we have corrected minor typographical errors in the original Constitution while keeping its content largely unchanged.

In accordance with ARTICLE V, Amendments, Section 1 of our Constitution, we are making both documents available for review by our members and readership.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association before the scheduled vote on Tuesday, February 18th.

● Section 1

These changes shall then be voted upon at that meeting, and if a two-thirds vote is obtained, said change or changes shall become effective.
