The purpose of advancing the 2017 dates by approximately five to eight weeks is to:
- Provide more time to members who seek to contest a seat, to be elected to the Board, and to file the required one hundred supporting signatures of LACBA members; and
- Allow more time for the Installation Dinner Committee to do the crucial work necessary to make the Dinner a financial success in June.
The LACBA Bylaws can always be found on the LACBA "About Us" and "Board of Trustees" webpages. These webpages have been updated to include the LACBA Bylaws as amended January 3, 2017, please click here.
