CALL FOR COMMENTS – Proposed Amendments to Bylaws of the Wyoming State Bar

January 25, 2016 - Member Announcements

At a meeting held January 22, 2016, the Board of Officers and Commissioners of the Wyoming State Bar approved certain amendments to the Bylaws to be distributed to members for comment. Several of the proposed amendments are housekeeping matters. The most significant is a proposed policy prohibiting the Bar’s involvement in political or ideological activities that are not germane to the core purposes of the Bar, along with a procedure for members to object and request a refund of that portion of their license fees they contend may have been used to fund non-germane political or ideological activities. The new policies are found in Article I, Section 5, with a related policy appearing in Article XIII, Section 3.

Comments should be submitted to Mark Gifford, Bar Counsel, at mgifford@wyobc.org, on or before February 29, 2016.
