The Memorandum of Understanding that was approved by the INCOLSA and MLC memberships in December 2009 specified that MLC’s bylaws would govern the new organization until the new board could review them and recommend changes. At the March board meeting, a task force was formed to review the bylaws and recommend changes. Victor Liu, library director at Washtenaw Community College, chaired the task force. He was joined by Pam Christensen, director at Peter White District Library, and Amy Harshbarger, librarian at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. They reported back to the board at the May meeting with a revised document. The board voted to put the revised bylaws before the membership at the Annual Meeting.

For your convenience, you will find links to the current and revised bylaws below.
