Bylaws Vote

KAWS Posted on September 1, 2026 by kawsSeptember 1, 2026

Attention members! Proposed changes to the KAWS bylaws will be voted on at the Oct. 10, 2026 General Meeting. Please review this pdf document , in which recommended changes are highlighted for your convenience.

These proposed bylaws reflect our move to a biennial conference. In addition, all four officers will now be elected at the same time, replacing the current staggered officer election schedule. Other changes include the addition of “fiber arts” to reflect the expanding scope of member interests and some added wording to clarify the voting process.

If you have any questions or comments about the proposed changes, please contact the KAWS board member for your guild.

We look forward to seeing you at the KAWS event in Manhattan Oct. 9 and 10!

The KAWS Board of Directors
