You are hereby notified that the following amendments to the Bylaws and the slate of Nominees have been voted on by the Eastham Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors to appear on the agenda.

Individually each of the items to be taken up requires your vote. Amending Article IV, Article VIII, and Appendix A reflects the new names proposed to be assigned to the various membership levels for the purpose of clarifying the levels so they no longer use similar terms embedded in the database software used to maintain the Chamber’s records.

For each of the three Bylaw items, the Original appears ahead of the proposed Amended version.

Replace all of ARTICLE IV
