BYLAWS
Amendments Passed by Delegates to the 34th Biennial Convention

  Article III: MEMBERSHIP
Section 3. Requirements:
A. A State Federation or local club may be admitted to and continued in NFRW membership if its bylaws are not in conflict with the NFRW Bylaws and its purposes. Neither a State Federation nor a local club NOR AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER that advocates a split party ticket or supports a candidate running on an opposition ticket shall be admitted to or continued in membership.
RULE: This amendment recognizes the stated purposes of the NFRW and the State Federations, local clubs and members who choose to be in the NFRW.

  Article VII: NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS
Section 1. Nominations:
A nominating committee of seven members and two alternates shall be elected by majority vote by the NFRW board of directors from its own membership. When there are more than three candidates for the alternate positions, the vote shall be by plurality. Nominees must be present to accept nominations to the nominating committee or must have given the NFRW President written consent to serve if elected.
ADD: A Nominating Committee member shall not serve two (2) consecutive terms.
RATIONALE: To provide an opportunity to more members to serve on the Nominating Committee.

  Article XIII: DISSOLUTION
In the event of a dissolution of this organization by a majority vote of the NFRW board of directors, all of its assets which remain after payment of all NFRW liabilities, costs and expense of such dissolution shall be distributed AS DECIDED UPON BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE NFRW BOARD OF DIRECTORS. None of the assets shall be distributed to any member or officer of the NFRW.
RATIONALE: Due to recent changes in federal campaign and political organization finance laws, and the resulting
political/legal classification of the two entities, the National Republican Committee may be in a position to be unable to accept assets of the NFRW. This amendment guarantees an appropriate and equitable distribution of assets, decided upon by the governing body of the NFRW.
