EESG NEWS:
· Bylaw Updates: Members of the EESG leadership team are proposing changes to our bylaws that include clarifications regarding nominations, terms of office instituting a "staggering" process, and roles of each leadership position which includes much more clarity on the role of the Board of Advisors. Our changes also reflect changes to our leadership structure (i.e. moving to a Co-Chair model of leadership and splitting the Treasurer/Secretary position into two separate positions). We have also included a Values Statement and Normative Commitments section that enshrine our core commitments to climate action and the JEDI principles in perpetuity, which also includes our pledge to not engage in extractive or exploitative forms of scholarship and practice. For your review, attached is the old version of the bylaws (ratified in 2024) along with the proposed edits to our bylaws (changes highlighted in yellow) that were approved by our leadership on July 18th, 2025. Voting will close on Sunday, August 10th. Click here to vote to approve or deny the bylaw changes.
