Weston Kiwanians adopted amended bylaws and policies, and elected club officers, directors, and foundation directors for the year beginning October 1 at the annual club and foundation meetings held Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Norfield Congregational Church’s parish hall. Members can access the previous and newly-adopted documents from links on the club’s website’s members page (password required).
Bylaws
The main goals of amending and restating the bylaws are 1) to align the club bylaws and foundation bylaws with the standard forms, which Kiwanis International has updated after Weston’s bylaws were approved, 2) to right-size board sizes to reflect the current membership number, and 3) to increase the alignment of the composition of the boards for efficiency.
Each corporations’ bylaws will become effective upon approval by Kiwanis International.
Club
The newly-adopted club bylaws conform to the February 2025 (previously October 2012) Kiwanis International standard form, reduce the number of directors to three from eight, and permit proxy voting.
Foundation
The newly-adopted foundation bylaws newly conform to the April 2018 Kiwanis International standard form. The previously-adopted bylaws were approved in 2013. The newly adopted bylaws provide for five officers and three directors, and allow proxy voting, mirroring the club’s board’s structure and voting policy.
