The 43rd Annual Meeting will include a presentation and vote upon a set of proposed Bylaw revisions. The most recent major revision of the corporate FSDPL Bylaws occurred in 2017. Due to subsequent changes in the California code governing nonprofits as well as in circumstances, a few additional changes to the bylaws are recommended by the FSDPL board at this time. The Friends' Board of Directors voted to present the proposed revision of certain sections of the bylaws to the members of the Friends at the May 2022 annual meeting for approval. Substantive changes to the Bylaws center on the following:

• Elimination of section regarding ex-officio nonvoting board members, which are no longer permitted under California law
• Clarification of role and relationship to FSDPL board of those previously classified as ex-officio
• Clarification regarding meetings that are not held in-person
