Over this past winter, GPMCT undertook a thorough review of our bylaws with the help of Attorney Fred Stocking. The result is a document that’s changed quite a bit from the original version! Our goals are to have the by-laws reflect current practices of GPMCT, assure consistency with Maine Non-Profit Statutes, be consistent with our policies and practices and allow for greatest flexibility. Members will be asked to vote on the revised bylaws and articles of incorporation. Here are links to a Summary of Proposed Bylaw Revisions, to view and download the Revised GPMCT Bylaws, or a Bylaws redline version (showing original w/corrections). The Summary will also be included in our Summer newsletter. Our Articles of Incorporation will also be amended to update old membership info.
