Bylaws Review The Bylaws were approved in 2003 and have not, according to our records, been revisited and updated since then.  The Board is in the process of reviewing them; if you are interested in reading and discussing them, visit the Macomb Feminists Network website.

 

Website Update Given the changes in practice we’ve adopted as we’ve evolved as an organization, this seems an appropriate time to make sure our website reflects these. Amelia Hartnett has been covering the annual costs associated with the website.
