Proposed Bylaw Changes

The POPAI Executive Board is proposing amendments to the current POPAI By-Laws.

The proposed amendments are contained within Article XI and would revise the counties included in each of POPAI’s eight districts. The purpose of these changes is to create a more equitable distribution of POPAI’s membership among the districts and ensure that each district is represented as fairly as possible.

A copy of the proposed amended By-Laws can be found below along with a map of the proposed new districts.

In accordance with Article XII of the POPAI By-Laws, the Executive Board has approved the proposed amendments for submission to the membership. This notice begins a 30-day comment period during which members may submit questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the proposed changes.

Please submit any comments no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 19, 2026 to secretary@gopopai.org.

Following the conclusion of the comment period, the Executive Board will review the feedback received and may make additional revisions to the proposed amendments. The final proposed amendments will be provided to the membership no later than August 26, 2026, which is at least 15 days before the scheduled vote.

The proposed amendments are expected to be considered at the POPAI Annual Business Meeting:

September 10, 2026
12:00 p.m. Eastern Time
French Lick Resort
French Lick, Indiana

Under the By-Laws, amendments may be approved by a majority vote of the eligible voting members present, provided that a quorum is present at the meeting.

We encourage all members to review the attached proposal and participate in the comment process. The Executive Board appreciates your involvement as we work to ensure that POPAI’s district structure continues to represent our statewide membership effectively.
