SECTION II.

The President may, at the President's option, or on the written request of any two members in good standing of ACGNJ, conduct a Business Meeting as part of any monthly meeting. The President shall also have the prerogative to change the date by two weeks before or after the time set for any monthly meeting, should he deem it necessary for a more successful meeting.

SECTION IV.

ARTICLE VI ‐ AMENDMENTS

SECTION I.

(Revised December 2008) This Constitution may be amended according to the By-Laws as set forth and in effect at the time. However, its structure and contents shall be kept as close as possible to the original ACGNJ Constitution, as it existed when voted upon and passed by a majority of the membership in attendance at the May 2, 1976 General Business Meeting. Should a provision in this Constitution conflict with a provision in the By-Laws as set forth and in effect at the time, the provision in the By-Laws will be considered to have priority. As soon as possible thereafter, the Executive Board must take action to resolve that conflict by amending either this Constitution or those By-Laws, according to the current procedures as specified in those By-Laws.

This document has been through legal review (2008) and is to be considered current.
