[SMT-PAIG] Proposed bylaws updates and post-conference survey (two action items)

[SMT PAIG]

Dear PAIG members,



It was wonderful to see many of you at the SMT meeting earlier this month!



As mentioned during our brief business meeting at the conference, we have
been working on updating the IG’s bylaws. The proposed changes accomplish
three things: 1) expanding and specifying the mission of PAIG; 2)
specifying the process and revising the timeline for Co-Chair nominations,
given our recently established annual Spring meeting; 3) clarifying
language around leadership eligibility; and 4) updating the process through
which amendments can be proposed and voted on.



A document with the proposed updates and a document of the bylaws ratified
in 2016 are attached to this email. We would appreciate it if you could
take a few minutes to review the proposed changes. Once you have done
so, *please
fill out this Google Form <https://forms.gle/eHtYiZ4CTP1Ytu1m6>* to
anonymously submit any questions, comments, or concerns you have about the
proposed updates. The comment form will be open for two weeks (through
*December
11*), after which point we will review your feedback and respond
accordingly. After addressing questions or concerns, we will put the
updated bylaws up for a vote through Google Forms.



We are also interested in learning how the IG can better serve the
interests and needs of its members. As such, we have put together a brief
Google Form <https://forms.gle/f24vK3j9eL7Zm4P96> that includes several
questions about your experience of the sessions PAIG has put together over
the past few years. Even if you have not attended all (or any!) of these
sessions, we invite you to provide your feedback. This form is anonymized
and will remain open through *December 18*.



Thank you for your time and effort in helping further the mission of the
PAIG, and happy Thanksgiving!



All best,

Christa Cole and Dan Ketter
