Bylaws Review Task Force
The Bylaws Review Task Force has been established by the Board of Directors
as an ad hoc advisory committee in order to: review AMIA’s bylaws
for their effectiveness in defining rules of governance for AMIA’s
evolving structure and membership; present recommendations to the Board
for any revisions deemed necessary; and recommend a means for continuing
systematic review of the bylaws to keep pace with future changes in the
association. The Task Force will seek input from the Board and the membership
throughout its charge, and will work closely with the Strategic Plan
Implementation Task Force where the recommendations of that group require
changes in the bylaws.

The purposes of the task force are to: Define what is meant by "diversity" as
it applies to AMIA and the field of moving image archiving. Research
what other associations in related fields have done to increase diversity;
what has been effective and what has not? Draft an AMIA position statement
on diversity for the Board to consider; this statement, if approved would
become AMIA policy and be included in the association's strategic plan.
Recommend specific goals and objectives for increasing diversity in AMIA
and the field as a whole.

specific objective of extending AMIA's services to such archivists in
developing countries; to promote AMIA's programs and services to the
world community of moving image archivists; and to extend those services,
such as workshops, by organizing activities outside continental North
America.
