The 2026 ANWG AMM will be held on Saturday, August 1, at 10:00 PDT. The meeting will be held via Zoom, and a Zoom link and agenda will be posted here and sent to the ANWG Reps via the ANWG Reps Google Group by July 15.
The meeting will include a show and tell slide show featuring works and photos from member guilds and groups. These items can be submitted by emailing the website admin at website@northwestweavers.org. Items must be submitted by July 25 to be included.
To ensure a quorum we are asking all guild reps to complete the AMM Meeting form below. The form will allow you to tell us if you will be attending, and if you will not be attending to name a proxy to cast your vote on all matters that come before the membership.
One important item of business is a proposal to amend and update the bylaws and standing rules for the organization. The proposed changes are provided below.
The major changes to the bylaws include:
- Deletes the mail notification option for meeting notifications; only email notifications will instead be used.
- Reduces the quorum requirement from one-third to 25% of member guilds.
- Reduced meeting notice period for special meetings from 30 days to 14 days, again using email notification.
- Increases the number of officers on the board from 5 to 9. This is done by making standing committee chairs directors of their areas:
- Membership Chair will become the Membership Director.
- Education Chair will become the Education Director.
- Communications Chair will become the Communications Director.
- Webmaster will become the Technology Director.
- Replaces the two-thirds requirements for amendments with a 25% of member guilds requirement.
The major changes to the standing rules include:
- Reduces the notification periods for some activities.
- Adds language defining the roles of the new board members – Technology Director, Communications Director, Membership Director, and Education Director.
- Deletes policies regarding travel for board members for meetings as all meetings are now done online.
The current bylaws and standing rules are available on the website under the “About ANWG” menu.
Please review the proposed changes with your guild at your earliest convenience. You can send questions to board president Patty Huffer using the form below.
