Two Bylaw Options to Consider 📋

We've prepared two draft versions of updated bylaws for your review. Each represents a different approach to neighborhood representation:

Option A: District-Based Representation

• 5 district representatives + 2 at-large members

• Geographic representation ensures all areas have a voice

• Encourages local engagement and neighborhood-specific advocacy

Option B: At-Large Representation

• 7 at-large members elected by the entire membership

• Emphasis on neighborhood-wide perspective

• Flexibility in representation and broader candidate pool

Read both versions below and come prepared to share your thoughts on which approach best serves Slabtown's needs.
