The zoom information is below: Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87312427016?pwd=mvtjspN4ahBlxLi0OGUlJAgP6uCmIo.1&from=addon Meeting ID: 873 1242 7016 Passcode: 651494 Jennifer Shaw Executive Director Public Investors Advocate Bar Association 1300 McGee Dr., Ste 112 Norman, OK 73072 (405) 300-8909
Reminder of our Bylaws meeting today below (2pm eastern).
Here are the issues we will be discussing again:
a. Adding an Educator category for membership for full time law professors.
Issues - same 80/20 restrictions? Give the Board discretion for dues or
state dues are 50% of regular?
b. Making the law student membership open to all law students. Issue - do
we want a restriction if one may be clerking at a defense firm?
c. Looking at the current young member definition - do we want to keep it
open to members up to 35 years old?
d. Modifying the PIABA logo restriction on websites to allow members to use
if they pay extra for a higher level of membership? Or - open to all to
market our organization?
e. Addressing the discipline under the list serve guidelines for possible
violations. Make the prohibition on dissemination of list serve emails and
info to outsiders more explicit and clearer?

Attached are the revisions we will be discussing today.
I added a redline sentence to the List Serve guidelines. I only see a
prohibition on sharing info regarding defense of a case, so I added language
to make the anti-sharing broader.

Attached are the slightly modified versions of the documents we discussed today. We approved the changes relating to educator members and law student members. Kim will work on the language in the List Serve guidelines regarding dissemination, and I will get Board feedback on the logo issue and possible use in metadata and Google adwords.
Thanks all
