The deadline for write-in candidates has passed without submittal of additional names.

President Elect: Andy Saucedo, NMSU—Dona Ana Community College Secretary: Dewayne Thompson, Lee University Director At-Large, Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree: Ronald Galloway, Northwest Nazarene University Report of Bylaws Committee The ACBSP Bylaws Committee is proposing changes in the bylaws. This is official notice of these proposed changes as required by the bylaws. Prior to being presented to the membership for approval, the changes must be approved by all three governing boards during their meetings on June 26 in Chicago. Copies of the proposed changes are available for download. We will not provide copies to each person during the meeting. You will be able to view the content on a projector screen and the document will be included on the print station at the Conference. If you require a full copy, please print and bring with you to Chicago. The bylaws provide changes must be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Council members during the business meeting on Sunday. Since these amendments concern accreditation issues they must also be approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each Commission. This will occur during the Commission meetings on Saturday. They will be presented for approval at all three annual meetings.

This vote will normally be cast by the CHAMPION. If a CO-CHAMPION has been designated, this person may cast a vote on behalf of the institution. At any time the CHAMPION may designate an individual other than the CO-CHAMPION to vote on behalf of the institution by providing written notice to the ACBSP headquarters (
[email protected]) in advance of the meeting or by the designated individual presenting such authorization at the meeting. In the absence of a designation and attendance by the CHAMPION and CO-CHAMPION, another individual affiliated with the institution may be designated by the presiding officer to cast votes on behalf of the institution only if approved by the qualified body so assembled. We look forward to seeing you or others in Chicago to represent your business school in these important governance actions. Special Issue of Celebrating 25 Years for CHAMPIONS and CO-CHAMPIONS Our April 11 issue of our conference newsletter, Celebrating 25 Years, provided reasons and incentives to our CHAMPIONS and CO-CHAMPIONS to be present in Chicago to help fulfill their roles as the ACBSP representatives on their campus. The issue was included in a dues invoice mailed to all members with an advance copy of the April 18 issue describing the many ways we will celebrate our 25th Anniversary which is page two of the download link shown above. We invite your download of this issue for your use and to encourage others on campus to support your financial request to attend the Annual Conference.
